Dual 18-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory are installed across four slots, leaving twenty free slots for expansion up to 1.5 TB. Ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise handles remote management.

Verify rack depth, power feeds

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and requires rails deep enough for the supplied ready rails kit. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies demand matching PDU outlets and appropriate circuit capacity. All ten drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS carriers; confirm that any replacement drives use the same form factor. The LGA 2011-3 sockets are fully populated, so CPU upgrades are not possible without removing existing processors. Memory expansion uses DDR4 RDIMMs only; other DDR generations will not fit.

Redundant platinum supplies

Dual 750 W platinum units share the load, reducing per-unit strain and keeping fan speeds lower during typical virtualisation or database workloads. The 2U chassis uses multiple high-rpm fans that ramp with inlet temperature; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet office but acceptable levels in a server room. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and drive activity; the redundant design allows one supply to fail without immediate shutdown. Ensure adequate front-to-rear airflow clearance in the rack.

Questions about this item

What drives, memory and accessories are included, and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with ten 600 GB SAS hard drives, four 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz ECC modules totalling 64 GB, an H730 1 GB controller with battery, an X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W power supplies, rails and a bezel. Empty drive bays, memory slots and PCIe slots are available for expansion.

How do I decide between the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and the installed 64 GB versus the maximum 1.5 TB?

The system contains two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs running at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, which is the maximum processor configuration. Memory uses 4 of 24 slots; add DDR4 ECC RDIMMs in matched sets to reach up to 1.5 TB for larger virtualisation or database workloads.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller mean for real-world drive performance?

The PERC H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. The ten 10K 600 GB drives connect at that speed, so sequential throughput and IOPS scale with the array layout you configure.
