Dual 22-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory are installed across four 16 GB modules. The system targets virtualisation, databases, VDI and high-performance computing nodes.

Upgrade From Single-Socket Or Lower-Core Systems

Moving from a single-socket platform or processors with fewer than 22 cores per socket adds forty-four total cores and 1.5 TB maximum memory capacity. The jump is worth it when your workloads need high thread counts and large memory footprints for virtual machines or in-memory databases. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache and battery backup.

Straightforward Rack Installation

The server includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard 2U rack mounting. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy without downtime. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote console, power control and hardware monitoring over the network. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays accept SAS or SATA drives; no drives are included so you must supply your own storage media.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rails does this 2U server need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack.

How are the Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 64GB DDR4 is populated as 4x 16GB registered ECC modules across the 24 slots, and the step often missed is enabling the RAID controller battery in the BIOS before creating virtual disks.

Which replaceable components will need attention over time in this PowerEdge R730?

The two 750W hot-swap power supplies, the PERC H730 controller battery, the 2.5-inch drive trays, and the system fans are the main field-replaceable units; memory can be expanded to 1.5TB using DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs.
