Dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two 14-core Xeon processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo provide 28 total cores for virtualization, databases and high-performance computing nodes. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller. It targets IT teams who need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

Sustained multi-core throughput

With both CPUs installed the server can maintain all 28 cores at base frequency under continuous load thanks to redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. The H730 controller with 1 GB cache sustains mixed read-write streams to the two 400 GB SATA SSDs in RAID configurations from 0 through 60. Quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ links keeps storage and migration traffic flowing during extended VDI or HPC runs without throttling.

Thermals and power in normal use

The 2U chassis uses redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum supplies that share load evenly, reducing per-unit stress and fan speed during typical operation. iDRAC 8 Enterprise monitors inlet temperature and power draw in real time so administrators can set alerts before thermal limits are reached. Front-to-back airflow across the 8-bay 2.5" drive cage and CPU heatsinks keeps component temperatures stable under normal enterprise workloads.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750 watt platinum supplies draw when the server runs continuously?

The system includes redundant 750 watt platinum efficiency power supplies; actual draw depends on workload but the units are rated for 750 watts each.

What cabling and drives must I provide to populate the remaining six 2.5 inch bays?

The chassis holds eight 2.5 inch SATA or SAS drives; two 400GB SATA SSDs are installed, so you need up to six additional drives and matching cables.

Can the iDRAC 8 enterprise port share the existing 1GbE and 10GbE network links?

iDRAC 8 enterprise uses a dedicated management port; it does not share the Intel X520/I350 quad port 2x 1GbE 2x 10Gb SFP+ daughter card.
