Dual 22-core Xeon 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 22 cores for a total of 44 cores across the dual-socket LGA 2011-3 platform. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory populated across 16 modules. It is designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as databases, virtualisation and high-performance computing.

Suits dense virtualisation and database nodes.

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are filled with 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than 24 DIMM slots, or a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 across 16 DIMMs leaves 8 slots

The installed memory uses 16 of the 24 available DDR4 slots, allowing further capacity increases up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Both processor sockets are occupied, so no additional CPUs can be added. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 22-core Xeon processors are running at the correct 2.2GHz base and 3.6GHz turbo speeds after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or system BIOS during POST; both display real-time clock speeds and core counts for each installed CPU.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this 8-bay 2U server?

Included: 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 (16x 32GB), 8x 400GB SATA SSDs, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, rails and bezel. Nothing else is listed.

How do I decide between the 512GB DDR4 configuration and the maximum 1.5TB capacity supported by the 24 memory slots?

Choose 512GB for current workloads fitting that footprint; upgrade later using the 8 free slots if applications demand more than 1.5TB total registered ECC memory.
