Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides eight cores, giving sixteen cores total for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. It is aimed at midsize and large enterprises running virtualisation, databases, VDI or high-performance computing nodes.

Upgrades from single-socket

Moving from a single-socket platform doubles the core count and the memory bandwidth available to the CPU pair. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, allowing larger or more resilient arrays than entry-level controllers. Ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives provide high IOPS capacity for transactional databases or virtual desktop images. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links for faster east-west traffic.

Verify rack depth, power and drive bay count

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with the included ready rails and that the facility supplies redundant power for the two 750 W platinum power supplies. The front bay population uses ten 2.5-inch SAS drives; ensure any additional drives match the SAS interface and 12 Gb/s controller capability. Memory expansion uses DDR4 registered ECC modules up to the 1.5 TB maximum across twenty-four slots. iDRAC 8 Enterprise requires a dedicated management network connection for remote console access.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is included for mounting the 2U chassis?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails for tool-less mounting in square-hole or round-hole cabinets.

What is the first step when installing the PERC H730 controller?

Insert the PERC H730 1GB mini controller into the dedicated internal storage slot before cabling the 2.5-inch drive backplane.

Which component on the PERC H730 will need replacement over time?

The controller includes a battery-backed cache; the battery will require replacement when it reaches end of life.
