Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing six cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration fits midsize and large organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency beyond 3.2 GHz turbo should evaluate different platforms.

768 GB DDR4 in 24 slots defines memory ceiling

The installed 768 GB (24 × 32 GB) of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory occupies every available DIMM slot. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB, so any expansion requires replacing existing modules. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit processor upgrades to the same Xeon E5 v3 family.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; the battery typically lasts several years and should be replaced when the controller reports a degraded state.

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

The 2U chassis relies on dual 750 W platinum power supplies and system fans; sustained turbo on both 6-core processors will hit the thermal design envelope before power capacity is exceeded.

How loud are the fans when the server idles at 768 GB memory and two 300 GB SAS drives?

Idle fan noise is low in a 2U rack form factor; acoustic output rises only when CPU or memory load pushes internal temperatures above the fan-curve thresholds.
