Dual 16-core Xeon server for virtualisation

This new Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for multi-threaded workloads

The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes. Its quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than two sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 1.5 TB maximum

The installed 64 GB uses four 16 GB modules at 2400 MHz, leaving 20 slots free for expansion. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with future memory demands without requiring a platform change.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R730 hold before I hit the ceiling?

The server has 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC DDR4, so the limit is the slot count and the 1.5 TB maximum.

What are the power draw and thermal load with both 750 W platinum supplies running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum units provide redundant hot-swap power; each supply can deliver up to 750 W, so sustained draw stays within that envelope with N+1 redundancy.

Which rails and management card are needed to install and run the 2U chassis out of the box?

Ready Rails and the iDRAC 8 Enterprise module are included, so the server mounts in a standard rack and offers remote KVM, virtual media and lifecycle control without extra parts.
