Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller support databases, virtualisation and high-performance computing tasks.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This server fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or compute clusters that rely on CPU throughput and SAS storage. The H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, more than 24 memory slots or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 14-core CPUs define capacity

Two 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors set the thread count, memory-channel count and PCIe lane budget for the entire system. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit upgrades to the same processor family. Confirm that your workload fits within 28 cores and 1.5 TB maximum memory before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 10 SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller in the 2U chassis?

Slide the 2.5" drives into the front hot-swap bays until they click; the H730 mini plugs into the dedicated internal slot and its battery pack snaps onto the chassis bracket — the step often missed is forgetting to seat the battery before closing the lid.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 battery and the 10K SAS drives need later?

The H730 battery typically lasts three to five years; plan to replace it when iDRAC reports a learn-cycle failure, and monitor the 600 GB 10K SAS drives via SMART for reallocated sectors.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W Platinum PSUs and 2U airflow are rated for full turbo on both 14-core processors, so the first limit is usually the DDR4 2133 MHz memory bandwidth ceiling.
