Two-Processor Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The server targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

SAS Storage and Network Limits

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept 1.2 TB SAS hard drives spinning at 10K RPM behind a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

768 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across all 24 DIMM slots using 32 GB modules. Maximum supported capacity is 1.5 TB, so no further memory can be added without removing existing modules. Buyers needing more than 768 GB must replace the installed DIMMs.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 1.5 TB maximum?

The system ships with 768 GB across 24 slots; the board supports up to 1.5 TB, so you can add more 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz modules later if workloads grow.

What does the 2.5 GHz base clock with 3.3 GHz turbo mean for my applications?

Each of the 12 cores per Xeon runs at 2.5 GHz and can boost to 3.3 GHz under load, giving strong single-thread response and high multi-thread throughput for databases or virtualization.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller operates at 12 Gb/s SAS, which caps each 1.2 TB 10K drive at that interface speed while supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
