Ready-to-Run Dual-Socket Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system delivered with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory and ten 600GB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730 controller. It arrives populated, tested and ready for immediate deployment in a datacentre rack.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

The dual 14-core CPUs and large registered memory footprint suit virtualisation clusters, database nodes and VDI workloads that benefit from high thread counts and hardware RAID. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look at different platforms.

24 DIMM Slots with 1.5TB Ceiling

The board provides 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5TB total capacity, so the installed 256GB can be expanded significantly without replacing the chassis or motherboard.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives into the 8-bay front chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier clicks, then confirm the PERC H730 controller detects all 10 drives in the RAID BIOS before loading the OS.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The ten 600GB 10K SAS drives and the two 750W Platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the H730 battery-backed cache module may also require swapping after several years.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs run at 3.2GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750W Platinum PSUs and the 2U chassis airflow define the sustained ceiling; prolonged 3.2GHz operation on all 28 cores will hit the platform power envelope before memory or controller limits.
