Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730 controller provide the storage foundation.

Suits virtualization and database nodes.

This configuration suits virtualization clusters, database servers, and high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies add redundancy. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look at a different platform.

2.5-inch SATA SSD bays limit storage protocol choice

The eight 2.5-inch bays accept SATA SSDs and connect to the PERC H730 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through. This SATA interface determines the maximum throughput available to the installed 400 GB drives. If the workload demands a different drive protocol, this chassis cannot accommodate it.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730 controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730 mini card into the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the 2.5-inch backplane, then configure RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 in the controller BIOS before installing the OS. The battery-backed cache must be enabled for write-back mode.

What maintenance will the 400GB SATA SSDs and 750W power supplies need?

The eight 400GB SATA SSDs are hot-swap; replace any drive that reaches its wear limit without powering down. The two 750W platinum supplies are also hot-swap — swap a failed unit while the server runs. Monitor iDRAC 8 Enterprise alerts for predictive failures on both components.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 CPUs run sustained loads?

The 2.4GHz base clock across 28 total cores is the first ceiling; turbo to 3.3GHz is limited by the 2U thermal envelope and the 750W power budget, so prolonged all-core workloads settle at base frequency.
