Dual 18-Core Xeon Server for Virtualisation

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package.

Ideal for dense virtualisation.

Organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor will find the dual 18-core configuration and 1.5 TB maximum memory useful. The eight-bay SATA SSD layout suits read-heavy workloads and boot volumes. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU compute modules or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller manages all eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache enables write-back acceleration for transaction-heavy applications. Confirm that your workload fits within the SATA SSD capacity and the controller’s RAID feature set before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays in this R730 accept the 2.5-inch SATA SSDs I already use in older PowerEdge servers?

Yes, the eight 2.5-inch bays support SATA SSDs, so your existing 2.5-inch SATA drives will fit and connect to the PERC H730 controller.

How can I confirm the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and 128GB of DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will show two 18-core CPUs at 2.30GHz and 128GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs, 128GB DDR4 (8x 16GB), PERC H730 1GB controller, eight 800GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W platinum PSUs, Ready Rails and front bezel. No extra components are required for basic operation.
