Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Turbo frequency reaches 3.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows, while the dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. The PERC H730 controller includes a 1 GB cache with battery backup to preserve write performance during extended heavy I/O. Twenty-four DIMM slots support expansion up to 1.5 TB for growing memory pressure.

SAS Storage Limits

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept 12 Gb/s SAS or SATA drives, with two 300 GB 10K SAS disks installed. The H730 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, managed remotely through iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the dual 750 Watt platinum power supplies add to the rack when the server runs 24/7?

Each 750 Watt platinum supply operates at high efficiency; the exact thermal output depends on the actual workload and inlet temperature.

Which drive trays and cables are required to fill the remaining six 2.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts standard 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hot-swap trays and back-plane cables compatible with the PERC H730 controller.

Can the existing iDRAC 8 Enterprise module manage the server alongside an older iDRAC 7 unit in the same rack?

iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides its own dedicated network port and browser interface; it operates independently of any iDRAC 7 modules in other servers.
