Dual Xeon 12-core server for virtualisation

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores, giving 24 threads total for heavy multi-threaded tasks. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes. It arrives ready to deploy with rails and a front bezel included.

Upgrading from single-socket or lower-core platforms

Moving from a single-processor box or older 8-core Xeons adds a second socket and doubles the core count to 24, which helps when memory bandwidth and thread density limit performance. The 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory fills eight of 24 slots, leaving room to grow toward the 1.5 TB maximum. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible storage layouts.

Limits of the SAS 12 Gb/s backplane

Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives occupy two of the eight 2.5-inch bays, so capacity is modest until more drives are added. The X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, capping network throughput at 10 GbE per SFP+ link. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy but fix the power envelope for any future GPU or accelerator cards.

Questions about this item

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

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for installation in a standard rack enclosure.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and the 128GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 128GB ships as eight 16GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC modules populated across the 24 DIMM slots, and the step often missed is ensuring the memory configuration follows the channel population order for the dual-processor layout.

Which components in the R730 are hot-swappable and will need replacement over time?

The two 750W Platinum power supplies, the two 300GB 10K SAS drives, and the PERC H730 controller battery are hot-swappable; fans are also redundant and hot-swappable for later replacement.
