Dense two-socket compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller managing two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes or high-performance computing tasks. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers needing more than two processors, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

44-core total with 1.5 TB memory ceiling

The system reaches its maximum processor count at two sockets, delivering 44 combined cores, while the 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 when fully populated. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate future memory growth without a platform change.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 DDR4 memory modules into the 24 slots and what step is often missed?

Populate all 24 slots with the 32 GB registered ECC modules; the step often missed is enabling the memory training sequence in the BIOS after the first boot so the full 768 GB is recognised.

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

The two 400 GB SATA SSDs and the PERC H730 controller battery are the parts most likely to require replacement as write cycles accumulate and the battery ages.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs run sustained workloads at 2.2 GHz?

The 750 W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo at 3.6 GHz across 44 cores can push total draw beyond the redundant supply rating, triggering throttling before thermal limits are reached.
