Dual 14-core Xeon server for dense storage workloads

The PowerEdge R730xd fits two Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. The 2U chassis holds 24 front-access 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays for high-capacity arrays.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and can be replaced without shutdown. The 2U rack form factor uses redundant hot-swap fans that adjust speed to thermal demand. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote power and thermal monitoring over a dedicated interface.

PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache

The H730 1 GB mini controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for software-defined storage. Battery-backed write cache protects in-flight data during power loss. Quad-port X520/I350 networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links on a daughter card. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5-inch drive trays and what step is often missed?

Slide each tray into the front bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is engaging the tray latch fully so the backplane connector seats.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller battery need later?

The H730 1GB controller includes a battery-backed cache; the battery should be checked periodically and replaced when the iDRAC8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed status.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W platinum power supplies set the first hard limit; sustained 3.0 GHz turbo on both 14-core processors can exceed the 750 W budget before thermal throttling activates.
