Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server populated with two 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of registered DDR4 ECC memory. It ships with a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller managing eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, dual 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE networking, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, rails and bezel. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running databases, virtualisation, VDI or HPC data-node workloads.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU

This configuration suits teams that want a ready-to-rack system with dual-socket performance, hardware RAID across eight hot-swap bays and out-of-band management included. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots, larger drive bays, or additional PCIe expansion beyond what the 2U chassis provides should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The installed H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, backed by a battery-protected 1 GB cache. This single component determines the array topology, rebuild speed and data protection level available to the eight SAS drives, so confirm the RAID requirements match before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack-mounting hardware is included with this 2U server?

The system ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack.

Can the installed 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors be upgraded to a different CPU model?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are already populated and the board supports a maximum of two processors.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 1.2 TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or check iDRAC8 Enterprise storage inventory to confirm all drives appear in the array.
