Dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 Server for Memory-Intensive

This Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors at 1.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives through a PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for Virtualisation Hosts

The high memory capacity and dual-socket layout fit consolidation workloads, in-memory databases, and virtualisation clusters that prioritise RAM over raw core speed. Buyers who need more than two processors or faster single-thread performance should evaluate other platforms. The installed CPU configuration is fixed at two 6-core parts.

384GB DDR4 Installed with 768GB Maximum Capacity

The system arrives with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the available DIMM slots. The platform supports up to 768GB total, allowing a future upgrade if workloads grow. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4; other generations are not compatible.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 384 GB DDR4 configuration or upgrade to the 768 GB maximum?

The installed 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory uses half the 768 GB ceiling, leaving 12 free DIMM slots for future expansion.

What does the 1.6 GHz clock on the two Xeon E5-2603 v3 CPUs deliver in a live workload?

Each 6-core processor runs at 1.6 GHz with 15 MB cache, giving 12 total cores for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualisation or database serving.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit the SATA drives I can install in the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The H730 presents a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane; SATA drives attach at their native 6 Gb/s link speed, so the controller caps each drive at 6 Gb/s.
