Dual 14-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage and compute. Two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors deliver 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, VDI, databases or HPC data nodes.

Thermals and Power Draw

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power. The 2U chassis uses forced-air cooling across the CPUs, memory and twelve drive bays. Under typical mixed workloads the system draws well within the redundant supply capacity while keeping fan noise at rack-appropriate levels.

Build and Connectivity

Twelve 3.5-inch bays hold 8 TB 7.2 K SATA drives behind the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC8 Enterprise gives full out-of-band management. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12 3.5-inch hard drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each 8TB SATA drive into the front hot-swap bays until the carrier clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730 controller sees all 12 drives before creating the RAID volume.

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

The twelve 7.2K SATA hard drives and the two 750W platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the PERC H730 battery-backed cache module may also require replacement after several years.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the dual 14-core Xeons run at full load continuously?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; the system will throttle the CPUs from 3.0GHz turbo back toward 2.0GHz base before the supplies reach their rated output.
