Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 fits in a 2U rack slot and runs two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and 3.0 GHz turbo. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Two 750 watt platinum-efficiency PSUs provide full redundancy and hot-swap replacement without downtime. The 2.5 inch drive bays and power supplies are accessible from the front and rear respectively, allowing component changes while the server stays online. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity.

iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management

iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control over power, console and firmware updates from any browser. Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel are bundled, so the unit can be mounted in a standard rack immediately. The PERC H730 battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during unexpected power loss.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730 RAID controller and what step is often missed?

The PERC H730 mini mono card seats in the dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting its 1GB cache battery module before closing the chassis.

What maintenance will the 8× 400 GB SATA SSDs and the controller battery need later?

The SSDs have no moving parts but should be monitored for wear via the H730; the RAID cache battery typically requires replacement after several years to preserve write-back caching.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and 2U airflow design set the practical ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on both 16-core processors will hit the chassis cooling capacity before the PSU rating.
