Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4 GHz six-core processors and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. It includes a PERC H730 1 GB SAS/SATA RAID controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and an iDRAC8 Enterprise module provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits workloads needing high core count

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and HPC data tiers that benefit from 12 total cores and 768 GB of DDR4 memory expandable to 1.5 TB. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight front-accessible drive bays should consider alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730 mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with a 1 GB battery-backed write cache. It manages up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives installed in the supplied trays. This single component determines the storage redundancy and performance profile available to the operating system.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch drive trays into the 8-bay front chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into a front bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is seating the tray fully so the SAS/SATA backplane connector engages.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The two 750 W platinum power supplies and the PERC H730 controller battery are the primary parts that degrade and require replacement over time.

What is the first limit reached when the server runs sustained heavy workloads?

Thermal limits of the dual 2.4 GHz 6-core Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors are typically reached before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.
