Dual 22-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill the front 2.5-inch bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits teams running virtualised environments, database clusters or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require all-flash storage performance will not find those capabilities here.

1.5 TB Maximum Memory Capacity

The system supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 128 GB leaves ample room for future expansion. Confirm that your workload fits within the SAS drive throughput and the H730 RAID feature set before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 2U server require for mounting?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for tool-less installation in a standard four-post rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 8x 16GB DDR4 modules fill eight of the 24 DIMM slots — populate the remaining slots in matched pairs per channel to enable quad-channel operation.

Which components in the PowerEdge R730 will need replacement first under heavy use?

The eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives and the two 750W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the PERC H730 controller battery should be swapped when iDRAC reports degradation.
