Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two 8-core Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprise workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes.

Check power, rack space and network cabling

Verify that your facility can supply two 750 W platinum power supplies with the required connectors and that a 2U rack slot with ready rails is available. Confirm the SAS backplane matches the eight 2.5-inch drive bays and that SFP+ transceivers or copper cables suit the dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports on the X520/I350 daughter card. Ensure iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management integrates with your existing console.

Fits dense compute clusters

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, freeing the CPUs from storage parity calculations. Eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives provide high-throughput local capacity without a separate array. Quad-port networking consolidates management, storage and application traffic in one mezzanine card. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion to 1.5 TB when workloads grow.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add to run it?

The unit ships with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, 512 GB DDR4 memory, PERC H730 controller, eight 300 GB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W power supplies, rails and bezel. No operating system or application software is included.

Should I choose this 512 GB configuration or a smaller memory option?

This build already provides 16 × 32 GB modules filling 16 of the 24 DDR4 slots, leaving room to reach the 1.5 TB maximum if workloads grow. Select it when current virtualisation or database sizing demands the full 512 GB today.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon speed deliver in a live workload?

Each 8-core processor runs at a 2.6 GHz base clock with 3.4 GHz turbo, giving 16 total cores and 32 threads for parallel tasks such as virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes or high-performance computing jobs.
