Dual-socket Xeon rack server for virtualisation

This 2U PowerEdge R730 carries two 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. It is built for midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses, databases or high-performance computing workloads. The chassis includes redundant hot-swap power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, ready rails and a front bezel.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots

The system ships with sixteen 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules filling most of the 24 available slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB, leaving headroom for future expansion. Memory operates in quad-channel mode per processor for bandwidth-sensitive applications.

2 x 400 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730 RAID controller

The Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Two enterprise 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch drives are installed in the eight-bay chassis. Storage capacity suits boot, logging or caching tiers; larger data sets will require additional drives.

Questions about this item

How much memory does the 512GB DDR4 configuration give a virtualization host?

The system ships with 512GB across 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to grow to 1.5TB if workloads demand more capacity.

What throughput does the H730 controller and SATA SSDs deliver in practice?

The PERC H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS/SATA, while the installed 400GB SSDs run at SATA 6Gb/s, so drive bandwidth caps at the SATA link speed.

What clearance and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard four-post rack installation.
