Dual-socket Xeon E5-2680 v3 server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency, providing 24 threads in total. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance computing nodes.

Suited for scale-up virtualisation

Organisations that need up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots will find headroom for dense VM consolidation. The integrated PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB battery-backed cache. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis with dual 750 W supplies

The front panel accommodates eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SATA drives; two 800 GB enterprise SSDs are installed. Redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and ready rails are included. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports alongside iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management.

Questions about this item

Can the Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors use the DDR4 2133MHz ECC modules already installed in the 24 DIMM slots?

Yes, the two CPUs access the 128GB of registered DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory across all 24 slots; the chipset supports up to 1.5TB total capacity.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and both 800GB SSDs are operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS lists each detected drive and RAID status; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows real-time drive health, controller firmware version and RAID virtual-disk state.

Which items ship with the server and what must be sourced separately for a basic deployment?

The unit includes bezel, ready rails, two 750W platinum PSUs, X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise licence, H730 controller with battery and two 800GB SATA SSDs; OS licences, additional drives, SFP+ transceivers and rack-mount hardware are not included.
