Dual-socket Xeon E5-2680 v3 server for enterprise

The 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. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes.

Tool-less rail mounting

Ready Rails allow the chassis to slide into a standard rack without tools, and the front bezel snaps on afterwards. Both 750 W platinum power supplies and the eight 2.5-inch drive trays are hot-swappable, so failed units can be replaced while the server stays online. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, but no drives are included, so storage must be sourced separately.

Verify rack depth, network cabling

The dual-processor LGA 2011-3 configuration uses the Intel C610 chipset and offers 24 DIMM slots, leaving 20 slots free for growth up to 1.5 TB of DDR4. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure your switch has compatible transceivers. iDRAC 8 Enterprise is licensed for full remote management, but confirm that your rack can accommodate the 2U height and the required airflow clearance.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller and both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs are detected after powering on the R730?

During POST the system BIOS lists each processor and the H730 firmware version; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows both CPUs at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, 64 GB DDR4 across four 16 GB modules, and the controller battery status as healthy.

Which components ship inside the chassis and which items must be sourced separately for the R730?

The box contains the 2U server with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, 64 GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730 1 GB controller, eight 2.5-inch drive trays, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, bezel and rails. Drives are not included.

Should I choose the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to populate more of the 24 slots up to 1.5 TB?

The system arrives with four 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules occupying four of 24 slots; adding matching modules later lets you scale toward the 1.5 TB maximum without replacing the factory memory.
