Dual Xeon 12-core server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system fitted with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each chip runs at 2.5 GHz with twelve cores and reaches 3.3 GHz under turbo. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI or high-performance computing workloads.

Sustained load on 256 GB DDR4 ECC

Eight 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules provide 256 GB of error-correcting memory. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap power keep the system running during extended compute tasks.

Eight 2.5-inch bays limit local storage growth

Only eight front bays exist for SATA or SAS drives. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed. Buyers who need more local capacity than the bay count allows must add external enclosures or choose a different chassis.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W platinum supplies draw when the R730 runs at full load all day?

The server includes two 750 Watt platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies designed for redundant operation under sustained workloads.

Which cables or modules are needed to use the four 10Gb SFP+ ports on the X520/I350 daughter card?

The card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports; you must supply compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 800GB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5-inch SAS drives?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across the eight 2.5-inch bays with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.
