Dense 24-bay compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two eight-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo, 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, and a PERC H730 controller driving 24 front-accessible 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives in a 2 U chassis. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links complete the platform, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise handles remote management.

Sustained throughput for storage-heavy workloads

The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and H730 cache keep all 24 spindles fed during long database scans, VDI boot storms or HPC checkpoint writes, and the platinum power supplies maintain efficiency at continuous high load. Eight cores per socket at 2.6 GHz base clock deliver predictable multi-threaded throughput without relying on short turbo bursts, and the 1.5 TB memory ceiling leaves headroom for in-memory working sets.

Tool-less rails and cabled controller

ReadyRails slide the 2 U unit into standard square-hole racks without tools, and the bezel snaps on afterwards. The H730 mini mono card connects to the backplane through internal SAS cables that must be seated firmly; a loose cable is the most common cause of missing drives at first boot. iDRAC 8 Enterprise is licensed and reachable over its dedicated port once the management network is configured.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the two 750 Watt supplies running this server continuously?

The system ships with dual 750 Watt Platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies that share the load and provide redundancy under full utilisation.

Which cables or drive trays do I need to have on hand before the 24-bay chassis arrives?

Twenty-four 2.5-inch enterprise SAS drives and the matching Dell drive carriers are already installed; the H730 controller uses internal Mini-SAS connections so no extra cabling is required.

Will the 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors work with my existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes — the 24 DIMM slots accept DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory and the board supports up to 1.5 TB total capacity.
