Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualization

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0GHz with a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 14 cores for a total of 28 threads. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes.

Rail-mounted chassis with hot-swap power

The server ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack installation. Two redundant 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies are hot-swappable, allowing replacement without downtime. Drive bays and the PERC H730 controller support hot-swap SATA and SAS media. Cable routing for the dual 10Gb SFP+ and dual 1GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card should be planned before sliding the unit into the rack.

Verify DDR4 registered ECC and 2.5-inch bay count

The system arrives with 128GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules, leaving 16 of 24 slots free for expansion up to 1.5TB. All eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 800GB SATA SSDs behind the H730 1GB controller. Confirm your rack provides 2U clearance and that your network infrastructure supports SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb links.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface; both should show two 14-core CPUs at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The unit ships with 2× 750 W platinum PSUs, PERC H730 1 GB controller, 8× 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, rails and bezel; only OS licences or extra drives need separate purchase.

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum?

128 GB (8× 16 GB RDIMMs at 2133 MHz) fills 8 of 24 slots, leaving 16 slots free for future growth up to 1.5 TB.
