Dual 16-Core Xeon Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

Redundant 750 W Platinum Power Supplies

Two 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy and hot-swap replacement. The 2U chassis supports hot-swap drive bays and redundant cooling, allowing component service without downtime. Power draw scales with the dual-processor load and the ten installed 10K SAS drives under typical enterprise workloads.

Ten 600 GB SAS Drives

The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 or pass-through. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management. The system includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard rack installation.

Questions about this item

How are the 2.5" SAS drives installed in the 8-bay chassis, and which step is often missed?

Insert each 600 GB 10K SAS drive into the hot-swap carrier until the latch clicks, then seat the carrier in the bay; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully so the carrier locks and the controller sees the drive.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 RAID controller need over time?

The H730 includes a 1 GB battery-backed cache; plan to replace that battery module when iDRAC 8 reports a degraded or failed cache battery to avoid write-cache loss.

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 ceiling; sustained 3.0 GHz turbo on all 16 cores per socket can exceed the 750 W per supply rating, triggering throttling before thermal limits.
