Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualization

The PowerEdge R730 fits 2U of rack space and ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors at 2.4 GHz, each offering 14 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory populate four of the twenty-four slots, leaving room for expansion up to 1.5 TB. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce, VDI or high-performance computing nodes.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap bays

Dual 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy with hot-swap replacement. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 1.2 TB 10 K SAS disks connected to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Front-to-rear airflow across the 2U chassis keeps thermals steady under sustained load.

Quad-port networking and remote management built in

An Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports without consuming a PCIe slot. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables out-of-band remote management, virtual console and power control over a dedicated network interface. ReadyRails sliding rails and a front bezel are included for quick rack mounting and a clean front appearance.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC H730 controller in the R730 and what step is often missed?

The PERC H730 1GB mini controller fits in the dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the battery backup cable to the controller before closing the chassis.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1.2TB 10K SAS drives need later?

The eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are mechanical; plan to replace any that develop read errors or exceed their rated workload limit, and keep a spare 2.5" SAS drive on hand.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core CPUs run at full load continuously?

The 750 watt platinum power supplies cap total system power, so sustained 3.3 GHz turbo on all 28 cores will hit the power envelope before thermal limits.
