Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 delivers 28 cores at 2.0 GHz with turbo to 3.2 GHz, backed by 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across eight 16 GB modules. The 2U chassis fits standard racks and targets midsize enterprises running databases, VDI or HPC data nodes. Buyers who need more than two sockets or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID and quad-port networking

The bundled H730 controller adds 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through across eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote power, console and firmware management without extra licences.

Rails and bezel included for rack mounting

Sliding Ready Rails let the 2U unit slide into a standard cabinet without tools; the front bezel snaps on afterwards. Dual 750 W platinum supplies are hot-swappable, so a failed unit can be replaced under load. Verify rack depth and airflow clearance before installation, as the supplier notes stock photos may not match the exact unit shipped.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730 includes a battery-backed cache; the battery typically lasts several years and should be replaced when iDRAC8 Enterprise reports a degraded state.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo continuously?

The 2U chassis relies on redundant 750 W platinum supplies and system fans; sustained turbo on all 28 cores will hit the platform thermal envelope before the power supplies reach their 750 W rating.

How loud are the fans when the server runs 24/7 with eight 1.2 TB SAS drives and both CPUs loaded?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and hot-swap fans keep acoustics in the typical 2U rack range; iDRAC8 Enterprise lets you monitor inlet temperature and fan RPM in real time.
