Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualization workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes.

Hot-swap bays and redundant power for continuous

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS and SATA drives behind a front bezel, with two 300 GB 10K SAS drives already installed. The Dell PERC H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies are hot-swappable, and ready rails simplify rack mounting in standard enclosures.

Quad-port networking and enterprise remote

A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible uplink choices. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables out-of-band remote management, power control and virtual console access without an operating system. The bundled rails and bezel complete the physical installation, so the server is ready for integration into existing infrastructure.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the H730 controller use, and what throughput does that cap?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so each drive channel tops out at 12 Gb/s regardless of the PCIe slot version.

What rack hardware is included for mounting the 2U chassis?

The unit comes with Dell Ready Rails sliding rails and a front bezel for standard four-post rack installation.

In what order should the 24 DDR4 modules be populated across the two CPUs?

Fill all twelve slots on CPU 1 first, then the twelve on CPU 2, following the DIMM sequence silk-screened on the riser boards.
