Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Installed memory totals 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC across 16 modules. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration fits virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse and high-performance computing data-node roles. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or PCIe storage tiers should evaluate platforms that offer those expansion options.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory capacity

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed in 16 of 24 available DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB, allowing significant headroom for memory-intensive applications. Buyers planning workloads that exceed the installed 512 GB should verify module compatibility before purchasing additional memory.

Questions about this item

What is included with the server and what must be purchased separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, 512GB DDR4 memory, a PERC H730 controller, eight 400GB SATA SSDs, an X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W power supplies, rails and bezel. Operating system licences and additional drives or memory are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I need room to grow beyond the installed 512GB?

The chassis provides 24 DDR4 slots with a maximum of 1.5TB. The current 512GB uses 16 slots, leaving 8 free for future expansion up to the 1.5TB limit.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock mean for actual throughput when Turbo reaches 3.0GHz?

Each of the 32 cores runs at 2.1GHz under sustained load and can burst to 3.0GHz on fewer active cores, giving higher single-thread performance for short periods while maintaining the base frequency across all cores during heavy multi-threaded workloads.
