Target workloads

This 2U rack server is built for virtualisation hosts, database clusters and memory-heavy applications that need room to grow. The single Xeon E5-2690 v4 and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory give a balanced starting point, while the second CPU socket and memory headroom up to 768GB let capacity scale without a chassis swap.

Drive bay layout

The front panel holds eight 3.5-inch bays wired to a Dell PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA support, so you can populate the array with the exact mix of capacity and speed your dataset demands. No drives are installed, leaving the storage topology entirely in your hands.

Cooling and power

Dual 495W redundant supplies feed the platform, and the chassis airflow design keeps the 14-core processor and full memory complement within thermal limits under sustained load. Fan speed is managed by iDRAC8 Enterprise, which adjusts curves automatically to balance acoustics against component temperatures.

Questions about this item

How does the 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 at 2.6GHz perform in a live server?

The processor delivers 14 cores at 2.6GHz with 35MB cache, providing strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation and database workloads in this R730 chassis.

What storage speeds does the PERC H730 controller and SATA interface actually deliver?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the 8-bay 3.5" backplane over SATA links, so drive throughput is capped at the SATA 6Gb/s limit per bay.

What physical clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 in, 40 lb chassis need for rack mounting?

The 2U-high, 36-inch deep unit requires a standard four-post rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth and rails rated for 40 lb.
