Dual 14-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730 controller

The front panel holds 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays connected to a Dell PERC H730 1 GB storage controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed from the factory. The board provides 24 DIMM slots and a maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB for future expansion.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for sustained operation. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card offering two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise. The package includes ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.0 GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the Xeon E5-2683 v3?

The 14-core CPUs run at 2.0 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz under load, giving strong multi-threaded performance for virtualisation and database workloads.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive speed in practice?

The H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs operate at their full 6 Gb/s link speed.

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

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard four-post rack installation.
