Dense 2U compute and storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors with 24 total cores into a 2U rack form factor. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller support database, virtualisation and HPC data-node roles. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays give dense local capacity for mixed workloads.

Redundant cooling and platinum power

Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across both CPUs, memory and the 24-bay backplane. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote thermal monitoring and power management without host OS involvement.

Quad-port networking and rails included

An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible fabric connectivity. Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the unit for immediate rack integration. The PERC H730 battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 arrays.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive cage and what step is often missed?

Slide the server into the rack using the included Ready Rails, connect both 750-watt platinum power supplies, then configure RAID on the PERC H730 controller before the operating system sees the 800GB SSDs; the step most people skip is initializing the virtual disk in the controller BIOS.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery and the 800GB SSDs need later?

The H730's 1GB cache battery should be replaced every three to five years to preserve write-back caching, and the two 800GB SATA SSDs should be monitored via SMART for wear-leveling thresholds and replaced when the media-wear indicator approaches end of life.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs run at 3.3GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and the 2U chassis airflow set the practical ceiling; sustained 3.3GHz turbo on all 24 cores will hit the power budget or inlet-temperature threshold before the processors reach their maximum junction temperature.
