Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. It delivers 16 total cores and 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB of memory across 24 slots and includes dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from dual-socket Xeon performance and hardware RAID. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache battery. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider alternative chassis designs.

PERC H730 1 GB SAS controller with eight drive bays

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. Two enterprise 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card offering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2x 300GB SAS drives into the 8-bay 2.5" chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the carrier clicks; then use the PERC H730 BIOS utility to create a virtual disk before the OS sees the volume.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller battery need later?

The battery backs the write cache; plan to replace it when the iDRAC 8 Enterprise log reports a degraded or failed battery status.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs run at 3.4GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2x 750W platinum power supplies set the thermal and power ceiling before the 1.5TB memory capacity or 24 DIMM slots become a factor.
