Dual Xeon 14-Core 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. It is designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, data warehousing or e-commerce platforms that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible storage redundancy. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or workstations requiring discrete graphics should consider alternative platforms.

24 DDR4 slots support up to 1.5 TB memory

The server provides 24 DIMM slots populated with 128 GB today and a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB. This headroom lets you scale memory for growing virtual machine density or in-memory database workloads without replacing the chassis. Memory must be DDR4 registered ECC; other generations are physically and electrically incompatible.

Questions about this item

How long will the PERC H730 controller battery last before it needs replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed write cache; the battery typically lasts several years and should be replaced when the controller reports a degraded state.

What limits sustained compute throughput on the dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors?

The 14-core CPUs run at a 2.0 GHz base frequency with a 3.0 GHz turbo; under continuous all-core load the base clock becomes the effective ceiling.

How much noise and heat do the dual 750 W Platinum supplies and system fans produce in a 2U rack?

Redundant 750 W Platinum units and hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis cool; acoustic output rises with load but stays within typical data-centre limits.
