Dual Xeon E5-2680v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 ships with two 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processors running at 2.4GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It is built for virtualisation clusters, database workloads and compute-heavy applications that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U rack form factor.

Dual 495W Supply Thermal Envelope

Redundant 495-watt power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across both CPUs and the eight drive bays, maintaining stable temperatures under sustained multi-threaded workloads without excessive fan speed.

Eight 3.5-Inch Bay Chassis

The 8LFF chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives connected to the PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB cache. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters provide two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full out-of-band remote management. Rails are available separately for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install drives into the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5-inch drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H730 RAID controller detects every drive in the BIOS before creating arrays — the step most people skip.

What maintenance or replacement will the DDR4 memory need later?

The 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory has no scheduled replacement; only a failed DIMM would require swapping, and the system supports up to 768 GB if you add more later.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2680v4 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The two 495 W power supplies set the ceiling; under continuous 14-core load at 2.4 GHz they will hit their thermal and wattage limits before the CPUs throttle.
