Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two 16-core Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes.

768 GB DDR4 memory and redundant 750 W supplies

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to expand to 1.5 TB. Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

PERC H730 controller and quad-port networking

A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 DDR4 memory modules and which slot population rule do people miss?

Populate all 24 slots with the 32 GB registered ECC DIMMs supplied; the rule often missed is to fill every slot symmetrically across both CPU memory controllers so each channel gets equal capacity.

Which component will need replacement first and what is its rated speed?

The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives are the mechanical parts most likely to wear out; they run at 12 Gb/s SAS interface speed.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the sustained power envelope; if total draw exceeds their combined rating the system will throttle before the CPUs reach their thermal maximum.
