Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-Core Server

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors provide 28 total cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. It targets virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing data nodes.

Sustained Load Thermal and Power Stability

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies maintain operation during continuous demand without single-point failure. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup preserves write performance and data integrity under heavy I/O. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for mixed read and write patterns. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and management during extended production runs.

12 Gb/s SAS Interface and 24 DIMM Limit

The storage controller operates at 12 Gb/s across SAS and SATA devices, capping drive bandwidth at that rate. Memory expansion stops at 24 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum, so larger datasets require external storage or a different platform. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, limiting top-speed ports to two. The LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset restrict future processor upgrades to the same generation.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 get with both 14-core 2.4 GHz Xeons running 24/7?

The server uses two 750-watt platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling designed for continuous operation in a 2U rack space.

Which cables or rails must I already have to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included, so no additional mounting hardware is required for a standard four-post rack.

Can the H730 controller and SAS backplane work with older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I still own?

The PERC H730 12 Gb/s controller supports SAS and SATA drives, and the 2.5-inch backplane accepts legacy SAS disks at their native speed.
