Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 threads. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup.

Ideal for virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from dual-socket parallelism and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots or a single-thread frequency above 3.3 GHz should evaluate other platforms. The network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible fabric connectivity.

24 DIMM slots and 1.5 TB maximum memory

The Intel C610 chipset exposes 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with your dataset or whether a denser memory platform is required. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management and two 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. Ready rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs work with my existing LGA 2011-3 motherboards?

Each processor uses the LGA 2011-3 socket, so they are physically compatible with other boards that share this socket, but the server chipset is Intel C610 and the memory controller expects DDR4 registered ECC modules.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and all eight 1.2TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

The iDRAC8 Enterprise interface reports controller battery status, drive SMART data, and RAID virtual-disk state; a green system-health LED on the front bezel also confirms normal operation.

Which items ship in the box and which must I source separately?

The system includes two CPUs, four 16GB DDR4 RDIMMs, the H730 controller with battery, eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, bezel and ready rails; additional memory up to 1.5TB and SFP+ transceivers are not included.
