Dual 14-Core Xeon 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives are installed behind a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, plus rails and bezel complete the package.

Enterprise Virtualisation And Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance compute nodes that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays are populated with spinning drives, so buyers who need all-flash arrays or additional empty bays for SSD expansion should look at alternative chassis. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or more than two sockets are also outside this platform's scope.

768 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The system arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC RAM installed in all 24 DIMM slots, reaching half of the 1.5 TB maximum capacity. Any memory upgrade requires replacing existing modules because no free slots remain. Confirm that your operating system and applications support this memory type and capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm both 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs and all 24 DDR4 DIMMs are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS and verify that two processors and 768 GB of memory are reported with no errors.

Which components arrive installed and which must be sourced separately?

Two E5-2683 v3 processors, 768 GB DDR4, PERC H730 controller, eight 2.4 TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails are included; SFP+ transceivers and any additional drives are not.

The listing shows a single 768 GB 24-DIMM configuration — how do I decide whether that capacity fits my workload?

With 24 of 24 slots populated at 768 GB, there is no room to add memory; choose this build only if the working set fits within 768 GB, otherwise a lower-density starting point leaves slots free for expansion.
