Dual 14-Core Xeon Server for Enterprise Workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo and provides 14 cores for a total of 28 threads. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules.

Redundant Power and Flexible Storage Bays

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies support hot-swap replacement for continuous uptime. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drive trays. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

Verify Rack Space and Memory Expansion Needs

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with the included ready rails. The board offers 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB, so plan additional registered ECC modules if the workload demands more capacity. No drives are installed; source compatible SAS or SATA media separately.

Questions about this item

What PCIe standard does the PERC H730 controller use and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1GB cache and battery backup.

What physical rails and rack clearance does this 2U server need for installation?

The unit includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for mounting in a standard rack; it occupies 2U of vertical space.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what common step is missed?

Two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors come pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets, and the 128GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory fills 8 of the 24 DIMM slots; the step often missed is populating memory channels evenly across both CPUs for full bandwidth.
