Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 24 slots and a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB. The chassis holds eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives driven by a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The dual 12-core CPUs and large memory pool suit virtualised environments, database instances and high-performance computing nodes that benefit from many threads and fast SAS storage. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms, as this model is limited to two CPUs and eight bays.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller with battery-backed cache, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages the eight installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and can also handle SATA devices. This controller choice determines which RAID levels are available and whether the write cache survives a power loss.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 2U PowerEdge R730 require for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole racks.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and 24 DDR4 DIMMs installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are already populated; the 24 slots are filled with 32 GB registered ECC modules, so the common oversight is skipping the memory-channel population order when adding more later.

Which components in this R730 will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and the two 750 W platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units with the shortest service life.
