Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. It supports up to two processors, 24 DIMM slots and twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suits capacity-first storage workloads

The twelve 3.5-inch bays and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support make this platform a fit for backup targets, archival repositories or database volumes that need large raw capacity on spinning media. Buyers who need all-flash performance tiers, higher core counts per socket, or more than a single processor installed should look at other configurations.

Single E5-2630 v3 eight-core 2.4 GHz processor

Only one CPU is populated from the factory, leaving the second socket empty for a later upgrade to a two-processor configuration. The installed 8 GB DDR4 uses one of twenty-four slots, so memory expansion headroom is extensive. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the three 300 GB 15K SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA drives added to the remaining bays.

Questions about this item

How much depth clearance does the 2U rack chassis need in a standard cabinet?

The chassis is 26.8 inches long, so allow at least that depth plus cable routing space behind the rear panel.

Which slot accepts the H730 RAID controller and how is it seated?

The H730 installs in the dedicated RAID card slot; press it firmly until the latch clicks to avoid intermittent contact.

When should the 300 GB 15K SAS drives be replaced in a RAID 5 array?

Replace any drive that reports predictive failure or exceeds the rated workload limit to keep the array healthy.
