Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data-node workloads.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant cooling

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses Dell’s engineered airflow path to cool both CPUs, the PERC H730 controller, the quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card and the installed SSDs without exceeding typical rack thermal limits. Acoustic output remains within standard data-centre expectations for a dual-socket 2U server.

PERC H730 RAID, quad-port networking

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the two 800 GB SATA SSDs and up to six additional 2.5-inch drives. The X520/I350 card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible fabric connectivity. iDRAC8 Enterprise delivers full remote management with virtual console, power control and lifecycle automation. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SSDs in the 8-bay front chassis, and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H730 BIOS shows both 800GB SATA SSDs in the RAID configuration before booting the OS.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 750W Platinum hot-swap power supplies and the PERC H730 controller battery are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the iDRAC8 module are also serviceable.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs run at 3.0GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750W Platinum PSUs set the sustained power ceiling; if combined CPU and memory draw exceeds their output, the system will throttle before any temperature limit is reached.
