DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8-core 512GB DDR4 H730 12x 3.5" trays

Dual 8-core Xeon 2U server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing eight cores for a total of sixteen threads. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. The Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays are fitted, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies give redundant hot-swap power.

12-bay dense storage node

The twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch bays suit workloads that need high capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles moderate east-west traffic. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU acceleration, or a tower chassis should look elsewhere.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory installed in sixteen of the twenty-four DIMM slots, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Memory type and rank must match registered ECC DDR4 for compatibility. Verify your application’s memory footprint against this starting capacity before purchase.
