Rack Server 2U Dual Xeon 10-Core

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card are included.

Virtualisation Hosts Needing Dense Memory

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from the 512 GB memory capacity and 24 DIMM slots allowing expansion to 1.5 TB. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management. Organisations requiring more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller feature set should evaluate alternative chassis.

PERC H730 RAID Controller With Battery

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with a battery-backed cache for data protection. It determines which RAID levels are available and whether the two 300 GB SAS drives can be mirrored, striped or combined in larger arrays. Verify that the controller feature set matches the storage topology required before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 modules into the 24 memory slots without leaving gaps that disable channels?

Populate all 16 slots per processor in identical pairs starting from the slots closest to each CPU socket; the motherboard silkscreen labels the channel order, and skipping a slot in a channel pair disables that channel.

When will the PERC H730 controller's 1GB cache battery need replacement, and how is it swapped?

The battery is a user-replaceable module on the controller card; typical service life is several years, and a replacement is installed by releasing the retention clip, unplugging the old pack, and snapping in the new one.

At what sustained load do the dual 750W platinum power supplies hit their thermal limit in a 2U chassis?

With both 750W units operating in redundant mode, the limiting factor is the chassis airflow rating; sustained draw above roughly 750W total will cause the fans to ramp to maximum speed and may trigger thermal throttling.
