Dual 14‑core Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5‑2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data‑node workloads.

Tool‑less rails and hot‑swap bays simplify

The unit includes ready rails and a front bezel for tool‑less rack mounting. Eight 2.5‑inch hot‑swap drive bays allow drive changes without downtime, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. Installation typically involves seating the server, cabling the quad‑port X520/I350 network daughter card and configuring RAID via the H730 BIOS; the main friction point is the 24 DIMM slots, which require careful population order for maximum capacity.

512 GB DDR4 scales to 1.5 TB.

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz memory leaves headroom up to the 1.5 TB maximum across 24 slots. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass‑through. Only two 400 GB SATA SSDs are fitted, so storage‑heavy applications will need additional drives to avoid running out of space.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS should display the 1GB cache size and list the two 400GB SSDs in a healthy RAID array; the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard will also show controller status and battery health.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, 512GB DDR4 across 16 DIMMs, H730 controller with battery, two 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, dual 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; additional drives or memory require separate purchase.

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 1.5TB maximum?

The system arrives with 16×32GB modules filling 16 of 24 slots at 2400MHz; if workloads need more than 512GB, add registered ECC DDR4 in the remaining 8 slots up to the 1.5TB limit.
