Dell PowerEdge R730XD 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes three 2 TB SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are fitted.

Installation notes for rack deployment

The unit weighs 60 lbs and measures 26.8 x 17.44 x 3.4 inches, so two-person lifting and standard 2U rail kits are recommended. Hot-plug drive trays are included with the installed drives; additional trays must be sourced separately for empty bays. The PERC H730 occupies the dedicated RAID slot, leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots free for expansion cards. A DVD-ROM drive is present for media-based installs.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack depth accommodates the 26.8-inch length and that airflow meets the dual 750 W supply requirement. Confirm the network daughter card configuration matches your infrastructure; the default provides four 1 GbE ports while 10 GbE options exist as upgrades. Memory expansion uses DDR4 DIMMs up to 128 GB per slot across 24 slots, but maximum speed depends on the installed processor capability. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Dell Perc H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS initialises and displays the three 2 TB SAS drives as a recognised array; iDRAC8 Lifecycle Controller then reports all physical disks as optimal and the virtual disk status as ready.

Which components are included in the shipment and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with one E5-2630v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, three 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H730 1 GB RAID card, two 750 W redundant PSUs, DVD-ROM and 4×1 GbE daughter card; operating system, additional CPUs, memory modules, extra drives, 10 GbE NDC and iDRAC Enterprise licence are not included.

Should I choose the single-processor 8 GB configuration or add a second CPU and more memory for my workload?

The single E5-2630v3 with 8 GB suits light virtualisation or file serving; adding the second supported processor and populating more of the 24 DIMM slots up to 1536 GB DDR4 is recommended for heavier multi-threaded applications or larger databases.
