Dual 14-core Xeon server for enterprise workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity for memory-intensive applications.

Upgrade from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-processor system or earlier 8-10 core CPUs adds a second socket and 28 total cores, doubling thread count for virtualisation, database and HPC node workloads. The jump is worth it when licensing, memory bandwidth or parallel throughput demand more than one socket can deliver, and the chassis still fits a standard 2U rack space.

400 GB SSD boot tier with 8-bay headroom

Two 400 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730 1 GB controller provide fast, redundant storage for OS and hot data, with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support. Six additional 2.5-inch bays remain open for capacity expansion, while the dual 750 W platinum power supplies and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking leave headroom for growth without chassis changes.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is included for mounting the 2U chassis in a rack?

Ready Rails are supplied with the server for direct rack installation.

How are the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and the 128GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are factory-seated in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 8x 16GB DDR4 modules fill eight of the 24 slots, and the step often missed is populating slots in the correct channel order per CPU.

Which components will need replacement over the life of the server?

The H730 controller battery, the two 750W power supplies, the two 400GB SATA SSDs, and system fans are the field-replaceable parts that typically require service.
