Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 fits 2U of rack space and installs two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. Registered ECC DDR4 memory totals 256 GB across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Redundant cooling and power keep noise predictable

Hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies share the load so neither unit runs at peak. The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across both CPUs and the 24 DIMM slots. Under typical virtualisation density the fans settle to a steady low speed rather than ramping sharply.

Sustained database and HPC nodes stay within

Turbo lifts each core to 3.2 GHz while all 28 threads remain active, and the platinum supplies maintain efficiency at continuous draw. The H730 battery-backed cache absorbs write bursts without throttling the SAS array. iDRAC 8 Enterprise logs thermal trends so capacity planning uses real data, not burst estimates.

Questions about this item

How do I install the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives and the H730 controller, and what step is often missed?

Mount the 2.5" drives in the eight front hot-swap bays, seat the H730 mini card in its dedicated slot, then use the PERC BIOS utility to create a virtual disk before the OS sees any volume.

Which component will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 10K SAS hard drives have moving parts and a finite write endurance; they typically wear out before the DDR4 memory, CPUs, or the two 750 W power supplies.

What limit appears first when the dual 14-core Xeons run sustained heavy workloads?

The two 750 W platinum power supplies set the total power envelope; once combined CPU, memory, and drive draw reaches that ceiling, the system will throttle or shut down.
