Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz 14-core server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo and 14 cores. The pair delivers 28 threads for heavy multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It targets IT teams that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

128 GB DDR4 and eight 400 GB SSDs

The system includes 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2400 across eight 16 GB modules, leaving 16 open DIMM slots for expansion up to 1.5 TB. Storage is handled by a PERC H730 1 GB controller with battery-backed cache, driving eight 400 GB SATA SSDs in a 2.5-inch bay layout that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Quad-port 1/10 GbE and redundant 750 W PSUs

Networking comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is covered by iDRAC8 Enterprise. Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails with a front bezel complete the package for immediate rack integration.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the PowerEdge R730 need for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors and 128GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 128GB (8x 16GB) DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC modules fill 8 of the 24 slots, and the step often missed is ensuring the memory population follows the required channel order for the dual-processor configuration.

Which components in the R730 are hot-swappable and what replacement parts will be needed over time?

The 8x 400GB SATA SSDs and the two 750 Watt Platinum power supplies are hot-swappable; the PERC H730 controller includes a battery that will eventually need replacement, and the iDRAC 8 Enterprise module can be replaced independently if required.
