  • Dual 18-core Xeon processors provide 2.3 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo for demanding compute
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots supports large virtualisation and database workloads
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery-backed cache
  • Eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives deliver high-speed 12 Gb/s storage in 2.5-inch bays
  • Quad-port X520/I350 card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ network connections

Dual 18-core Xeon density

The PowerEdge R730 fits two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors into a 2U rack chassis, delivering thirty-six cores and seventy-two threads at a 2.3 GHz base frequency. It is built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes that need maximum thread count per rack unit.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

With 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen slots, the system keeps large working sets in RAM during extended database or HPC runs. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup maintains write performance across eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 without throttling under continuous I/O load.

Redundant platinum power and remote management

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap supplies share the load and keep the server running if one unit fails. The iDRAC 8 Enterprise module provides out-of-band monitoring and control over a dedicated network connection, while the quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for data and management traffic separation.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two 2.3GHz 18-core Xeons and 512GB DDR4 produce under sustained load?

Dual 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3GHz with 3.6GHz turbo and 512GB DDR4 draw up to 285W each, so the 750W platinum PSUs handle peak thermal output with headroom.

Which cabling and rail kit items are required before this 2U rack server can be installed?

Ready Rails and front bezel are included; you only need to supply rack-mount screws, SAS data cables if you rewire the backplane, and SFP+ modules for the 10GbE ports.

Can the PERC H730 controller and 12Gb/s SAS backplane run the 1.2TB 10K drives together with older 6Gb/s SAS disks?

Yes, the H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS/SATA and negotiates down to 6Gb/s, so legacy drives work in the same 2.5" bays at their native speed.
