Dual 14-core Xeon 2U server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-speed storage in a hot-swap chassis with redundant 750 W power supplies.

Virtualisation and database hosts.

The twenty-eight total cores and 1.5 TB maximum memory capacity suit virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes and high-performance computing clusters. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card supports demanding network throughput.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, making it the key specification for storage compatibility.

Questions about this item

Will my existing LGA 2011-3 Xeon processors work alongside the two installed 14-core E5-2683 v3 CPUs?

The system supports a maximum of two processors and both sockets are already populated with E5-2683 v3 units, so no additional CPUs can be added.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 1.2 TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or check iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view; both will list each 1.2 TB drive and the configured RAID virtual disks.

Which components ship inside the chassis — rails, bezel, power supplies, network card — and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2× 750 W platinum PSUs, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, Ready Rails and front bezel; only SFP+ transceivers and OS media are not supplied.
