Dual-socket Xeon E5-2680 v4 server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.40 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four DIMM slots, leaving 20 slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB total capacity. This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, database workloads or high-performance computing data nodes.

SAS storage controller

The Dell PERC H730 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 1 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill the front bays, delivering high-capacity rotational storage but no solid-state media. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, capping wired throughput at those speeds without additional adapters.

Redundant platinum power

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver full redundancy in a 2U chassis. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard four-post rack mounting. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote power cycling, console redirection and firmware updates over a dedicated management network. The system supports a maximum of two processors, so CPU upgrades are limited to the LGA 2011-3 socket family already populated.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules up to the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB modules, leaving 20 free slots; populate remaining slots with identical DDR4 registered ECC modules to reach the 1.5 TB limit.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock with 3.3 GHz turbo mean for sustained compute performance?

Each of the 28 cores runs at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.3 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving high single-thread speed and strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS controller affect the eight 2.4 TB drives?

The H730 connects all eight drives at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the array can deliver full drive bandwidth with redundancy.
