Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives are installed and managed by a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Virtualisation and database hosts, not GPU farms

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 28 total cores and fast SATA flash storage. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 24 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 1 GB of battery-backed cache, enabling the full range of RAID levels including pass-through mode. This single component determines whether the eight 400 GB SSDs can deliver the redundancy and performance profile your workload demands.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server in a rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the included Ready Rails into a standard 2U rack space, then slide the chassis onto the rails until it locks; the step often missed is securing the front bezel and cable-management arm before powering on.

What maintenance or replacement will the storage controller battery need later?

The PERC H730 1GB controller uses a battery-backed cache; the battery typically requires replacement after several years to preserve write-cache protection during power loss.

What thermal or power limit appears first under sustained full load?

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the power ceiling; sustained turbo at 3.0 GHz across 285 W total CPU TDP can hit that limit before thermal throttling engages.
