Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Two 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives are installed in an 8-bay chassis.

Suits virtualisation, databases

This server suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses, e-commerce platforms or HPC data nodes that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management. Buyers needing more than 1.5 TB of RAM, more than two processors or solid-state storage should evaluate other platforms, as this unit ships with 10K SAS hard drives and a SAS/SATA controller.

32 total cores from dual 16-core Xeon processors

The decisive specification is the pair of 16-core Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs delivering 32 cores at 2.1 GHz base clock with 3.0 GHz turbo. This core count drives throughput for heavily threaded workloads such as virtualisation hosts and database engines. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit upgrades to the same processor generation, so the 32-core ceiling is fixed for the life of the chassis.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for mounting in a standard four-post rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and 256 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 256 GB ships as eight 32 GB registered ECC DDR4 modules populated across the 24 DIMM slots — ensure the memory configuration follows the required channel population order.

Which components will need firmware updates or battery replacement over time?

The PERC H730 controller uses a 1 GB battery-backed cache that will need replacement when it reaches end of life, and iDRAC 8 Enterprise firmware should be updated periodically for security and compatibility.
