Dual 16-Core Xeon Server

This new Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730 controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package for midsize and large enterprise workloads.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

The configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots, more than eight drive bays or a different storage protocol should evaluate other platforms.

256 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed memory uses DDR4 technology at 2400 MHz in a registered ECC layout across 24 available slots with a 1.5 TB maximum capacity. This specification determines whether the server can support the intended virtual machine density or in-memory database size. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes for the eight SATA SSDs.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rails are included for mounting the PowerEdge R730?

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack cabinet.

How do I install the 256GB DDR4 memory kit and what is the common mistake to avoid?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots; the 256GB kit uses eight 32GB registered ECC modules at 2400MHz. The common mistake is mixing registered and unbuffered DIMMs or populating slots in the wrong channel order per CPU.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement and how are the 800GB SSDs monitored?

The PERC H730 includes a 1GB battery-backed cache; the battery typically requires replacement after several years of continuous use. The eight 800GB SATA SSDs are monitored through the controller and iDRAC 8 Enterprise for predictive failure alerts.
