Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 10-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 10 cores for a total of 20 cores across the system. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses Dell's engineered airflow to cool dual processors, 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote thermal monitoring and power management without requiring physical access to the rack.

PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during unexpected power loss. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible uplinks. ReadyRails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How are the 2.5-inch SAS drives installed in the 8-bay chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a hot-swap bay until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully so the latch engages and the controller sees the disk.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The eight 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives and the two 750 W power supplies are the primary wear items; the PERC H730 battery-backed cache also degrades over time.

What thermal or power limit appears first during sustained full-load use?

The dual 750 W platinum supplies set the power ceiling, and the 2U airflow path reaches its cooling limit before the two 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors hit their maximum turbo frequency.
