Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 threads. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, supporting up to 1.5 TB. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed on a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised environments, databases, or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports and dual 1 GbE ports handle demanding network traffic. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or need a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages the eight 400 GB SATA SSDs through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. This controller choice determines the available RAID options and drive compatibility for the installed bays.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, 128GB DDR4 ECC memory, eight 400GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730 1GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W platinum PSUs, rails and bezel. All 24 memory slots are populated, so extra DDR4 modules must be bought separately if you expand beyond 128GB.

Which storage capacity version should I choose?

This listing is a single configuration with eight 400GB SATA SSDs pre-installed in the 2.5-inch bays. No other capacity option is offered for this unit.

What does the 2.0GHz figure mean once the server is running?

Each of the 14 cores per processor runs at a base 2.0GHz and can boost to 3.0GHz under load, giving 28 cores total for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or databases.
