Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of 24 slots. The PERC H730 controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives with battery-backed RAID.

Upgrade From Single-Socket Or Smaller Arrays

This configuration replaces single-socket servers or systems with fewer drive bays when throughput and capacity must scale together. The jump is worth it for virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes or high-performance computing tasks that saturate both CPU sockets and the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane. Buyers needing more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors must choose a different platform.

12 Gb/s SAS Backplane And PCIe 3.0 I/O

The storage controller and drive interface operate at 12 Gb/s SAS, limiting peak throughput to that standard even if faster drives are added later. The X520/I350 network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports on the PCIe 3.0 bus. iDRAC 8 Enterprise runs independently for remote management. The 750 W platinum supplies share load but total output is fixed by the installed units.

Questions about this item

Does the 2U chassis include rails for a four-post rack?

Yes, ready rails are included for mounting in a standard four-post rack.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors?

Populate CPU socket 1 first, then socket 2; the system will not post if only the second socket is filled.

When should the PERC H730 controller battery be replaced?

The battery typically lasts several years; replace it when the controller reports a degraded or missing battery during POST.
