Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The system targets enterprises running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing nodes.

Sustained load on 24 SATA SSDs

Under continuous demand the 24 enterprise 800 GB SATA SSDs deliver consistent throughput through the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies maintain redundant supply while the Xeon CPUs sustain clocks up to 3.2 GHz turbo across all 28 cores during prolonged compute tasks.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface ceiling

The SATA 6 Gb/s link caps each SSD at roughly 520 MB/s sequential transfer regardless of drive capability. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes are supported but total array bandwidth cannot exceed the 24-lane controller aggregate. Memory expansion stops at 1.5 TB across 24 slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U server run with two 750 Watt PSUs and 24 SSDs spinning all day?

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum supplies share the load, keeping fan speed lower than single-PSU configurations.

Which rails and network cables must I already have to mount the R730xd and use its 10 GbE SFP+ ports?

Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the unit; SFP+ transceivers and fibre or DAC cables are not included.

Can my existing LGA 2011-3 DDR4 DIMMs fill the empty slots alongside the 16 installed 32 GB modules?

Yes — the board has 24 DDR4 slots total, so 8 remain open for registered ECC DIMMs up to the 1.5 TB limit.
