Dual 16-core Xeon server for dense virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 fits into a 2U rack slot and ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz, 16 cores each, plus 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory across 24 slots. It targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, VDI or HPC data nodes that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 1 GB cache and battery backup.

Eight hot-swap trays and quad-port networking free

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays populate the front chassis, leaving internal PCIe slots available for additional controllers or accelerators. A daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so no extra network adapters are required for typical cluster interconnects. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote management without consuming a front-panel port.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies handle peak loads

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails, keeping the dual-processor configuration and fully populated memory subsystem stable under sustained compute workloads. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow with variable-speed fans that ramp only when inlet temperatures rise, keeping acoustic output low in standard data-centre aisles.

Questions about this item

How far can the 768 GB of DDR4 memory be expanded before hitting the R730 ceiling?

The R730 supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across its 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 768 GB can be doubled.

What thermal and acoustic load should I expect from the dual 750 W platinum supplies and two 16-core Xeons running continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum PSUs and two 2.1 GHz 16-core Xeons will draw significant power and generate considerable heat; plan for robust rack cooling and expect noticeable fan noise under sustained load.

Which drive type and cabling do I need to populate the eight 2.5-inch trays served by the PERC H730 controller?

The eight 2.5-inch trays accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with its 1 GB cache battery.
