Dual 18-core Xeon server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each providing 18 cores. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory are installed across four 16 GB modules, leaving twenty free slots for expansion up to 1.5 TB. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives in a hot-swap 2.5-inch backplane.

Suited for database nodes and VDI hosts.

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management simplify deployment in dense racks. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or a different drive protocol should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 1.2 TB SAS drives on a H730 RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight enterprise-class 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives deliver the capacity and IOPS profile for the workloads listed above. Confirm that your application stack is compatible with SAS 12 Gb/s and the available RAID levels before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 memory work with my existing LGA 2011-3 motherboard?

The server uses two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors on an Intel C610 chipset with 64GB DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots; your motherboard must support the same socket, chipset and registered ECC DDR4 to be compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and eight 1.2TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or boot into the PERC H730 BIOS utility to confirm all eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are detected, the 1GB cache battery shows charged, and the virtual disks report optimal RAID status.

Which items ship in the box and what must I source separately?

The chassis includes two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs, 64GB DDR4 memory, PERC H730 controller, eight 1.2TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, ready rails and front bezel; SFP+ transceivers for 10GbE and any additional DDR4 modules are not included.
