Dual ten-core Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz for a total of forty threads. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twenty-four DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting SAS or SATA drives. The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and includes dual 750 W redundant power supplies.

Verify rack depth power and drive trays

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a chassis depth of 26.8 inches and that the facility provides suitable power connections for two 750 W supplies. The system arrives without drive trays or installed drives, so sourcing compatible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA trays is necessary before deployment. Network connectivity defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card, with optional 10 GbE mezzanine cards available separately.

Redundant cooling and power in normal use

Dual redundant 750 W power supplies share the load, allowing continued operation if one unit fails. The 2U form factor uses internal fans that ramp based on inlet temperature and CPU utilisation, producing typical rack-server noise levels. Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB cache handles basic video output without adding thermal load. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring for thermal and power metrics.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drive trays or hard drives for the eight 2.5-inch bays?

No hard drives or trays are included; the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives you supply separately.

The spec lists a maximum of 16 GB installed but 1536 GB supported — which capacity should I choose for a virtualisation host?

Start with the 16 GB DDR4 already fitted, then populate additional DIMMs across the 24 slots up to the 1536 GB limit using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules.

What does the dual 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeon configuration actually deliver for compute-heavy workloads?

Two E5-2650 v3 processors provide 20 physical cores and 40 threads at 2.3 GHz, backed by the Intel C610 chipset and DDR4 memory running up to 2400 MT/s.
