Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 16 modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, VDI, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

Verify Rack Space and Power

Before ordering, confirm that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that you have redundant hot-swap power connections for the two 750-watt platinum supplies. The motherboard uses LGA 2011-3 sockets and the Intel C610 chipset with 24 DDR4 slots, so any future memory expansion must use registered ECC DDR4 modules. Network connectivity relies on an X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so check that your switch supports SFP+ transceivers.

PERC H730 and iDRAC8 Enterprise

The bundled PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes across the eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides full remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware monitoring without requiring an operating system. Ready Rails and the front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.
