2U rack server with dual 14-core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 14 cores, giving 28 threads in total. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages storage, and two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration fits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtual desktop infrastructure, database serving or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 750 W redundant power supplies support internal expansion. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should look elsewhere.

Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 with 28 total cores

The decisive specification is the pair of 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs, delivering 28 cores at 2.0 GHz base frequency. This determines whether the server meets the threading requirements for the intended workload. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit upgrades to the same processor family.

Questions about this item

How do the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo perform in a live R730xd?

The two 14-core CPUs provide 28 physical cores total. At the 2.0 GHz base clock they deliver steady throughput for virtualization and database workloads, while the 3.0 GHz turbo raises single-thread speed for bursty tasks.

What does the PERC H730 1 GB controller with 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA actually limit in this server?

The H730 caps drive throughput at 12 Gb/s per lane and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. It manages the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and any additional 2.5-inch drives in the 24-bay chassis.

What physical space and rails are needed to mount this 2U R730xd in a standard rack?

The server occupies 2U of rack height. Ready Rails are included for tool-less mounting in square-hole or round-hole 4-post racks, and the front bezel is supplied for a finished appearance.
