Dual 18-core Xeon server for virtualization

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing workloads as a data node.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays simplify

The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for tool-less rack mounting, while eight 2.5-inch drive bays support hot-swap SAS or SATA drives. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable for redundant power. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote management access even when the operating system is down.

Verify rack depth, network cabling

Confirm your rack can accommodate the 2U height and the depth required by the ready rails assembly. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so plan for compatible SFP+ transceivers and cabling. The system has 24 DDR4 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum capacity, leaving 20 slots open for future registered ECC memory upgrades.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and 64GB DDR4 are detected after powering on the R730?

During POST the BIOS lists both 18-core CPUs at 2.3 GHz and shows 64 GB registered ECC memory; iDRAC 8 Enterprise also reports the same inventory remotely.

Which drives, rails and cables are included and what must I source separately?

The chassis ships with 2× 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, front bezel and ready rails; additional SAS/SATA drives, SFP+ transceivers and OS licences are not included.

Should I choose the H730 controller with 1 GB cache or add more memory slots for my database workload?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; the board has 24 DDR4 slots allowing expansion up to 1.5 TB for larger working sets.
