Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per socket and 64 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory give strong multi-threaded capacity for virtualisation, database and HPC data-node roles. The system ships with a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller and eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays.

Suited to mixed read-write arrays.

The eight-bay chassis and H730 controller target workloads that benefit from RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across spinning disks or SATA SSDs. Buyers who need more than eight internal drive bays or a different storage controller should evaluate other platforms. The included X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for typical rack networking.

DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory ceiling 1.5 TB

Twenty-four DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory, so capacity can grow well beyond the factory 64 GB. Confirm that any additional modules match the registered ECC specification and 2400 MHz speed before ordering.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support, and how does that limit drive throughput?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS controller, so each 2.5" bay is capped at 12Gb/s per drive.

What rack depth and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails for square-hole or round-hole racks and needs a standard 2U vertical space.

How is the PERC H730 battery installed, and what step is often missed?

The battery plugs into the controller's dedicated header; the step often missed is seating the connector fully until it clicks.
