2U 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 storage controller. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included. It is suited for data-intensive workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes.

Storage-heavy workloads and remote management

This platform suits buyers who need high-density 3.5-inch hard-drive capacity in a compact rack form factor with hardware RAID and out-of-band management. Builders who require all-flash performance, GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere because the chassis supports only two CPUs and the backplane is designed for SATA/SAS hard drives.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache

The installed PERC H730 provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a 1GB battery-backed cache. This single component determines whether the server can meet your redundancy and throughput requirements for the twelve installed 4TB 7.2K SATA drives.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections do I need to install this 2U server?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes ready rails for mounting. It ships with two 750 Watt Platinum hot-swap power supplies that require two compatible PDU outlets for full redundancy.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the 12 installed 3.5-inch 4TB SATA drives together with any older SAS drives I might add?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so it can combine the twelve 7.2K SATA drives with additional SAS disks in the same array.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 64GB DDR4 memory are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 8 Enterprise web interface or enter the BIOS; both will display two 16-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo and 64GB of registered ECC DDR4 running at 2400 MHz.
