2U rack server for virtualization workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits in a standard 2U rack space and runs two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 1.5 TB maximum. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes.

H730 controller with 10 SAS drives and quad-port

A Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery. Ten 600 GB 10K SAS 12 Gb/s 2.5-inch drives are populated in the eight-bay chassis. Networking comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Verify rack depth, power circuits

The chassis uses 2.5-inch drive bays, so 3.5-inch drives cannot be installed without a converter. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies require compatible PDU outlets. SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports are not included. Maximum memory capacity is 1.5 TB across 24 slots; confirm your planned DIMM population matches the registered ECC DDR4 requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 1GB controller battery need replacement later?

The PERC H730 1GB controller includes a battery that backs the write cache; plan to replace it when the battery health indicator reports degradation, typically after several years of continuous operation.

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

Sustained 3.0 GHz turbo on all 16 cores per processor pushes the 2U chassis cooling to its design envelope; the CPU package temperature will throttle before the 750 W power supplies reach their capacity ceiling.

How loud are the fans and how much power does the server draw when running 24/7 with 10 SAS drives spinning?

With 10x 600 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 750 W platinum supplies, idle draw sits near 350 W and fan noise rises to a noticeable data-centre hum under full load, yet remains within the rack specifications for the 2U form factor.
