Dual 16-core Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R730 packs two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets workloads that need high thread counts and large memory capacity such as virtualization hosts, database nodes or rendering farms. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread speed above 2.1 GHz should look elsewhere.

Dual 495 W supplies and iDRAC8 remote control

Two 495 W power supplies deliver redundancy for the 24-drive chassis while the integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence gives full out-of-band management over a dedicated network port. The PERC H730 SAS controller handles RAID across eight 3.5-inch SATA bays. The system ships with firmware updated and burn-in tested.

No drives or rails included by default

Storage drives are not installed so you can select capacity and endurance that match the workload. Rail kits are available on request rather than bundled. The onboard Intel I350 and X540 adapters provide two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for flexible network topology.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server into a rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the server using the sliding rail kit, then secure the front thumbscrews — many people forget to tighten those screws and the unit can shift under vibration.

Which components will need replacement during the server's service life?

The two 495 W hot-plug power supplies and the system fans are the primary field-replaceable units; drive bays accept 3.5" SATA or SAS drives that can be swapped without tools.

What thermal limit appears first when both 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz continuously?

The dual 495 W power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; if total draw approaches 800 W the system will throttle to stay within the PSU rating.
