Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages two 800 GB SATA SSDs in eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualisation, databases and HPC data nodes

This server fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from dual-socket density and redundant 750 W power supplies. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports alongside iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.0 GHz should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 at 2.1 GHz

The defining specification is the pair of 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs running at 2.1 GHz base and 3.0 GHz turbo. This combination sets the thread count, memory bandwidth ceiling and overall throughput ceiling for the workloads listed above. All other components — memory capacity, storage controller, networking and power — scale around this processor choice.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacing, and how often?

The PERC H730 includes a 1 GB cache with a battery-backed write-back module. Battery life varies with charge cycles; Dell typically recommends checking status via iDRAC8 Enterprise and replacing the battery unit when the controller reports degraded capacity.

What thermal limit is reached first when both Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

With two 16‑core CPUs at 2.1 GHz base and 3.0 GHz turbo, the 750 W platinum PSUs and 2U chassis airflow are designed to keep CPU package temperatures below the Intel thermal junction maximum; sustained turbo may trigger power limiting before the cooling capacity is exceeded.

How loud are the fans and what is the typical power draw under 24/7 load?

The redundant 750 W platinum supplies deliver up to 750 W each; actual draw depends on workload, but the system is rated for efficient operation. Fan speed is managed by iDRAC8 and ramps with inlet temperature; exact decibel and watt figures vary by configuration.
