Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 10-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 10 cores for a total of 20 processing threads. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. It ships in new condition with a PERC H730 RAID controller and eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database servers or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket density and hardware RAID. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require solid-state storage or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms because this unit ships with eight 2.5-inch SAS hard drives only.

24 DIMM slots supporting 1.5 TB maximum

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 memory slots with a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB, allowing significant future expansion beyond the factory-installed 64 GB. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache and battery backup. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the enterprise-ready feature set.

Questions about this item

How much rack depth do the included rails need for this 2U server?

The Ready Rails supplied with the PowerEdge R730 are designed for standard 4-post racks with adjustable depth; verify your cabinet's rail-to-rail clearance before mounting.

What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory?

Install both CPUs first, then populate the 24 DIMM slots starting with the four 16GB registered ECC modules in the channels assigned to each processor for balanced performance.

When should the PERC H730 controller battery be replaced?

The 1GB cache battery on the H730 typically lasts several years; the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface will alert you when the battery health drops below the threshold for safe write-back caching.
