PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 1 GB controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ networking complete the platform.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This server fits virtual desktop infrastructure, database and high-performance computing data-node roles that demand dense CPU cores and redundant power. The 2.5-inch drive bays and SATA SSD storage suit read-intensive applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than 1.5 TB of memory or additional 2.5-inch bays beyond the eight provided should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon 14-core CPUs set the performance ceiling

The two 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors define the compute capacity available for any workload. With 28 total cores and a 3.3 GHz maximum turbo frequency, they determine how many virtual machines, database threads or HPC tasks can run concurrently. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 slots, but the processor core count and clock speed remain the fixed limit for parallel performance.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz 14-core Xeon processors fit my existing LGA 2011-3 motherboards?

The CPUs use the LGA 2011-3 socket, so they are electrically compatible with any board that supports that socket and the Intel C610 chipset.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller status in the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface and confirm the battery-backed cache shows optimal with no degraded virtual disks.

Does the package include SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

The server ships with the quad-port daughter card installed; SFP+ modules are not included and must be purchased separately.
