Dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads.

PERC H730 controller with eight 400 GB SSDs

The single specification that determines fit is the Dell PERC H730 1 GB storage controller paired with eight 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch enterprise SSDs. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This combination fixes the storage capacity and performance envelope for database or virtualisation deployments.

24 DIMM slots and quad-port networking

The chassis provides 24 DDR4 slots allowing expansion up to 1.5 TB of memory. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies, iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management, ready rails and a front bezel complete the rack-ready package.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.5 GHz base clock mean for actual throughput?

Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors run at 2.5 GHz base with 3.3 GHz turbo across 12 cores each, giving 24 cores total for parallel workloads.

What does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through at 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA speeds.

What rails and clearance does the 2U chassis need?

Ready Rails are included for tool-less mounting in a standard rack; the unit occupies 2U of height and uses dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies.
