PowerEdge R730 2U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It arrives with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 1 GB controller manages storage on a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane, and two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, plus rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data-warehouse or high-performance computing data-node workloads that benefit from 28 total cores and ECC memory. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and H730 RAID controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers needing GPU compute acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or fibre-channel connectivity should look elsewhere.

285 W total CPU thermal design power

The two E5-2683 v3 CPUs carry a combined thermal design power of 285 W, which the dual 750 W platinum supplies handle with redundancy. This figure determines cooling and power-budget planning for the rack. Memory can scale to 1.5 TB across 24 DDR4 slots if the workload grows.

Questions about this item

What storage throughput does the 12Gb/s SAS SATA controller cap at in practice?

The PERC H730 controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, so installed 6Gb/s SSDs operate at their native 6Gb/s link speed.

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 2U chassis with ready rails require?

The 2U server includes Dell Ready Rails; allow at least 285 mm depth behind the front posts for cable bend radius and airflow.

How do you seat the DDR4 registered ECC modules in the 24 slots, and which step is often missed?

Populate all four channels per CPU first (slots A1, B1, C1, D1, then A2…); the common error is leaving a channel empty while filling a second rank.
