Dual Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with twelve cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Virtualisation and Database Node

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from twenty-four total cores and hardware RAID across eight drive bays. The server maxes out at two processors and 1.5 TB of RAM, so workloads that demand more sockets or larger memory footprints will need a different platform.

12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID Controller

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache drives the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller choice determines both the usable capacity and the redundancy options available to the array.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does this 2U server require?

The unit occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in a standard 4-post rack.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and the 64 GB DDR4 memory?

Populate CPU socket 1 first, then add the second processor; install the four 16 GB DDR4 RDIMMs in the slots assigned to each CPU following the silkscreen sequence.

Which replaceable components will need attention after extended use?

The two 750 W hot-swap power supplies, the eight 400 GB SATA SSDs, the PERC H730 controller battery, and the system fans are all field-replaceable units.
