Dual 16-core Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and provides 16 cores. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. It targets midsize and large enterprise workloads such as databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes.

Check rack space and SAS cabling

Verify that your cabinet can accommodate a 2U chassis and that the rails supplied match your rack depth. The PERC H730 controller uses 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity, so backplane and drive cables must support that speed. The server includes dual 750 W platinum power supplies; confirm your PDU outlets and available circuits. Network connectivity relies on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Eight 2.5-inch bays and 24 DIMM slots

The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drives; all bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS disks in this configuration. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Twenty-four DDR4 slots allow expansion up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management without consuming a front-panel port.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the 8× 1.2TB SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller installed, or must I purchase them separately?

The unit includes eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and a Dell PERC H730 1GB controller with battery pre-installed, so no additional storage parts are required.

Should I choose the 128GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 1.5TB maximum?

The system arrives with 128GB (eight 16GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC modules) occupying eight of twenty-four slots, leaving sixteen free slots for future expansion up to 1.5TB.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.0GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads on the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs?

Each 16-core processor runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz under load, giving thirty-two total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or HPC nodes.
