Dual Xeon 10-core 2U server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores and 3.3 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for SAS/SATA storage workloads.

This configuration fits midsize enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes that rely on SAS or SATA storage. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers needing GPU compute or PCIe add-in cards should look at a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch drives and currently includes two Dell enterprise 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, ready rails and a front bezel are included.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement, and how often?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed write cache; the battery is a consumable that typically lasts several years and can be swapped without tools when it reaches end of life.

What thermal limit is reached first when both Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; the dual-CPU configuration draws enough current that the PSU rating becomes the limiting factor before the CPU thermal throttling engages.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the chassis exhaust under 24/7 load?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and two 10-core CPUs push significant heat; the 2U chassis runs its fans at high speed continuously, producing noticeable airflow noise in a rack environment.
