Ready-to-run 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 6-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory in four 16 GB modules, and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 750 W platinum power supplies are installed. An Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management. Rails and a front bezel are included.

Suited for virtualization and database nodes

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, database workloads, or high-performance computing data nodes where dual-socket compute density and 12 Gb/s SAS throughput are required. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processors, or solid-state storage as standard should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis also limits internal drive count.

Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors

The server ships with two 6-core Xeon CPUs at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, occupying both LGA 2011-3 sockets on the Intel C610 chipset. This processor choice determines the maximum core count and memory bandwidth available without hardware changes.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then configure the virtual disk in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees the array.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller's 1GB cache battery need later?

The battery backs the write cache; plan to replace it when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded or failed battery status.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs run at 3.2GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; prolonged turbo on all 12 cores can trip their over-current protection.
