Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays keep the platform running during component replacement. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backs RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for continuous database or virtualisation throughput. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and recovery without physical access.

Pre-Order Checks

Verify your rack accepts 2U depth and that 2.5-inch SATA SSDs match the eight-bay backplane. Confirm SFP+ transceivers or copper cables are available for the quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE daughter card. Ensure operating system licensing covers dual-socket Xeon deployment.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750W platinum PSU setup run under continuous 24/7 load in a 2U rack?

Dual 750W platinum supplies share the load efficiently, reducing heat and fan speed compared with single-PSU designs, so the 2U chassis stays cooler and quieter during all-day operation.

What cabling and drives do I need to populate the remaining six 2.5-inch bays behind the PERC H730 controller?

The H730 supports SATA and SAS; you only need compatible 2.5-inch drives and the server's included backplane cables — no extra controller cards or special cables are required.

Can the installed Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs and DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory work with older LGA 2011-3 parts I already own?

Both sockets use LGA 2011-3 and the 24 slots accept DDR4 registered ECC only, so any matching LGA 2011-3 Xeon and DDR4 RDIMMs will integrate directly.
