Enterprise 2U Server with Dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo, providing 16 total cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to 1.5 TB. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits environments running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for local storage redundancy. Buyers needing GPU compute or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots is the primary factor determining fit for memory-intensive applications. This capacity supports dense virtualisation and in-memory databases without immediate upgrades. Verify that your workload fits within this limit or plan for additional modules to reach the 1.5 TB maximum.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 1GB controller includes a battery that maintains cache during power loss; plan to replace it every few years to keep write-back caching reliable.

What limits sustained CPU performance under full load?

Two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors run at 2.6 GHz base with 3.4 GHz turbo; thermal throttling from the 2U chassis airflow is the first ceiling during continuous heavy workloads.

How loud and hot does the server get with both 750 W PSUs running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant fans keep the 2U system within spec, but expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust air in a quiet office.
