Dual Xeon 2U rack server for enterprise workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. Eight cores per processor deliver 16 total cores for virtualization, databases and high-performance computing. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory occupy four of twenty-four slots, leaving room to scale toward the 1.5 TB maximum.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses Dell’s engineered airflow path to cool dual processors, memory and eight drive bays under sustained load. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives remote thermal monitoring, power control and firmware updates without physical access.

Eight 2.4 TB SAS drives with flexible networking

The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages eight 2.5-inch 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for storage and cluster traffic. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SAS drives into the 8-bay front panel, and what step do people miss?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 1GB controller detects every drive in its BIOS before loading the OS.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller battery are the primary wear items; the two 750W platinum PSUs and system fans are hot-swap and rated for extended service.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs run at 3.4GHz turbo continuously?

The 750W platinum power supply ceiling is reached before the 2U chassis airflow limit, so sustained all-core turbo is constrained by the redundant PSU capacity.
