Dual 14-Core Xeon Server for Virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per CPU deliver 28 threads for heavy multi-threaded workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing nodes. One hundred and twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory populate eight of the 24 available slots.

Verify Rack Space and Network Cabling

Confirm the cabinet can accept a 2U chassis and that rails are compatible with your rack depth. The PERC H730 controller manages the eight installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives through a 12 Gb/s backplane supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, so ensure matching switch ports and transceivers are available.

Dual 750 W PSUs and iDRAC Enterprise Included

Two hot-swap 750 watt platinum power supplies provide redundancy without extra purchase. The iDRAC 8 Enterprise licence enables full remote management including virtual console and power control from any browser. ReadyRails and the front bezel ship in the box, so the server can be racked immediately. No operating system or hypervisor is pre-installed.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and which parts must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, eight 16 GB DDR4 modules, the PERC H730 controller with battery, eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives, an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum power supplies, ReadyRails and a front bezel. No additional components are required for basic operation.

How do I choose between the listed memory and storage configurations?

The unit includes 128 GB of DDR4 across eight of twenty-four slots and eight 300 GB SAS drives filling all front bays. Expand memory up to 1.5 TB by adding registered ECC DDR4 modules to the remaining slots. Add storage by replacing drives or using the PERC H730's SATA/SAS pass-through for external enclosures.

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock mean when the server is running real workloads?

Each of the two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors runs at 2.0 GHz base and can turbo up to 3.2 GHz depending on thermal headroom and core count active, delivering 28 total cores for virtualisation, databases or HPC tasks.
