Dual 16-core Xeon platform

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 16 cores for a total of 32 cores and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes.

PERC H730 with battery-backed cache

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller adds RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes with battery-backed write cache. Eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives are pre-installed in the 2.5 inch bays. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Dual 750 W supplies and 24 DIMM slots

The chassis includes two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy. Memory can expand to 1.5 TB using the 24 DDR4 slots, so verify your module density and rank requirements before adding capacity. Rails and a front bezel are included for rack mounting; confirm rack depth and rail compatibility with your existing cabinet.

Questions about this item

How long will the PERC H730 RAID controller's battery-backed cache last before it needs replacement?

The H730 controller includes a battery to protect cached writes during power loss; battery life varies with temperature and charge cycles, so plan on checking its status via iDRAC8 Enterprise and replacing it when the health indicator flags degradation.

Which component reaches its limit first when the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors run at full turbo for extended periods?

The two 750 W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; each CPU can draw up to its TDP under 3.0 GHz turbo, so the PSU pair and the system's thermal design become the limiting factor before the CPUs throttle.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the 2U chassis with both 750 W PSUs and eight 10K SAS drives running continuously?

Expect noticeable fan noise and substantial exhaust heat; the redundant hot-swap PSUs and 10K RPM drives keep internal airflow high, so rack placement with adequate cold-aisle supply and hot-aisle containment is recommended for 24/7 operation.
