Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a dual-socket 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It delivers compute density for virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors provide 32 cores total at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots.

Suited for dense virtualisation.

This configuration fits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor with redundant 750 W power supplies. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and PERC H730 controller support SAS and SATA drives in multiple RAID levels. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration, more than two processors or storage interfaces not listed here should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 with 512 GB DDR4 decides fit

The installed dual 16-core Xeon processors and 512 GB DDR4 memory set the performance envelope for virtualised environments. The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the two included 300 GB 10K SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA devices. Quad-port networking with dual 1 GbE and dual 10 Gb SFP+ plus iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the baseline specification.

Questions about this item

How do the included Ready Rails install into a standard rack, and which step is often missed?

The Ready Rails mount directly to the rack's square or round holes without tools; the step often missed is engaging both the front and rear latches until they click securely.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller battery need over time?

The controller's battery backs the write cache; it typically requires replacement every few years when the iDRAC8 reports a degraded or failed battery status.

Which limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors run at 3.0 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750-watt platinum power supplies set the ceiling; prolonged all-core turbo can draw enough power to trigger throttling before thermal limits are reached.
