Dual 16-core Xeon server

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

Hot-swap bays and redundant power

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays support SATA and SAS devices behind a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery-backed RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Rails and a front bezel are included.

24 DIMM slots for 1.5 TB max

The server populates eight of 24 DDR4 slots, leaving room to scale memory to 1.5 TB without replacing modules. Buyers who need more storage than two 800 GB SATA SSDs must add drives themselves. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset limit CPU upgrades to the existing two-socket maximum.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 1GB controller support?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 1GB cache and battery backup.

What rack depth and mounting hardware are required for the 2U chassis?

The 2U server includes Ready Rails for square-hole or round-hole racks and a front bezel; verify your rack depth accommodates the chassis length.

How are the Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets?

Two processors are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; if upgrading, align the notches, lower the CPU gently and secure the load plate before applying thermal paste.
