Dual 18-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell 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 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies with hot-swap redundancy keep the system online during continuous multi-threaded workloads. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup maintains write performance and data integrity across eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives under RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links supports steady east-west traffic in virtualised clusters.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and supports the included ready rails for mounting. Confirm the facility can supply redundant power feeds to match the dual PSU design. Ensure your storage topology can use SAS drives and that the H730 RAID modes align with your capacity and redundancy requirements. Plan for iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management integration in your existing monitoring environment.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt supplies draw when the twin 18-core Xeons run at 3.6 GHz Turbo all day?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts with platinum efficiency; actual draw varies with workload but the redundant pair shares load and can sustain full CPU turbo operation.

Which cables and drive trays must I already have to populate the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays?

The eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives ship installed in the hot-swap trays; no extra cables or trays are required to use all bays.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I want to keep from a previous server?

The H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA and is backward compatible with 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s drives, so legacy SAS disks will be detected and can join RAID arrays.
