Dual 18-Core Xeon 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and 3.6 GHz turbo. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports a maximum of 1.5 TB.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache handle RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for database, VDI and HPC data-node roles. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface will require a different chassis.

768 GB DDR4 2133 MHz Memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory occupies all 24 DIMM slots. This capacity and speed combination determines whether the server fits the target workload before any memory upgrade is considered.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller's battery-backed cache need replacement?

The controller includes a battery for write-back cache protection; plan to replace it every three to five years to maintain RAID performance during power loss.

What limits sustained CPU performance in this 2U chassis?

Two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo share the 2U airflow path; thermal headroom becomes the first bottleneck under continuous full-load work.

How loud and hot does the server run with both 750 W power supplies loaded all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies feed 18-core CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 and eight 10 K SAS drives; expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust during 24/7 operation.
