Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built around two 16-core Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Thirty-two total cores and 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory give strong multi-threaded throughput for consolidated workloads. Buyers who need more than two sockets or newer instruction sets should look elsewhere.

256 GB DDR4 and dual 400 GB SSDs with PERC H730

Eight 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules fill 8 of 24 slots, leaving 16 slots open for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller manages the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays provide room for additional SATA or SAS devices. The installed flash capacity suits boot, logging or caching tiers; workloads needing large active datasets will require more drives.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation in a 2U chassis. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. Integrated iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management, monitoring and deployment without an operating system. Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 256GB DDR4 2400MHz memory work alongside older DDR4 modules I already own?

The server uses DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC memory across 24 slots; mixing speeds is possible but all modules will run at the speed of the slowest installed DIMM.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and both 400GB SSDs are functioning correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 BIOS will list the controller firmware version and detect each 400GB SATA SSD; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows drive health, RAID status and any alerts in its dashboard.

Which components ship with the R730 and what must I purchase separately to populate the remaining drive bays?

The box includes the 2U chassis with 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs, 256GB DDR4, H730 controller, 2x 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; additional 2.5" SATA or SAS drives are bought separately for the six empty bays.
