Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes. Two 10-core processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo deliver 20 total cores for parallel workloads. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots.

Redundant 750 W Platinum Power

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide N+1 redundancy for continuous operation under load. The system uses Intel C610 chipset architecture with LGA 2011-3 sockets. Cooling is handled by the chassis design for 2U density, keeping both CPUs and the PERC H730 controller within thermal limits during sustained database or virtualisation tasks.

Eight-Bay SAS Storage Ready

Eight 2.5-inch bays come populated with 300 GB 10K SAS drives connected to a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Rails and bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SAS drives into the eight-bay front chassis?

Slide each drive into an empty bay until the carrier clicks into the backplane; the common mistake is not pushing the release lever fully home, leaving the drive unseated.

When will the PERC H730 controller's 1 GB cache battery need replacement?

The battery backs the write cache; plan to swap it after three to five years or when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded state.

What thermal limit appears first when both 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; prolonged turbo on all 20 cores can trip their over-current protection before the heatsinks saturate.
