DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 256GB DDR4

Dual-socket Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R730 packs two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz, delivering 16 cores per socket and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U rack form factor for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with PERC H730 RAID

The 8SFF chassis accepts up to eight SATA or SAS drives which are not included, letting you choose capacity and redundancy to match the application. The integrated PERC H730 SAS controller handles RAID levels without consuming a PCIe slot, while dual 495W supplies and an Intel quad-port 10GbE plus 1GbE network card leave expansion slots free for additional accelerators or storage controllers.

Sustained load on air-cooled 2U platform

With both CPUs at full utilisation the system relies on redundant fans and the 2U airflow path to maintain stable temperatures during extended runs. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring and power capping so administrators can throttle consumption before thermal limits are reached, keeping performance consistent across long batch jobs or container orchestration tasks.
