2U rack server with 12 drive trays

This 2U rack server holds twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays and ships with no drives installed. Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors give 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

Suits dense storage workloads

The twelve-tray chassis and dual 750 W platinum supplies fit data-warehouse, VDI-node or HPC storage-node roles. The quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card handles heavy network traffic. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere.

24 DDR4 slots decide memory ceiling

Twenty-four registered ECC DDR4 slots populate eight 32 GB modules today and can reach 1.5 TB total. This slot count is the hard limit for memory expansion on this platform.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H730 controller support and what is its cache size?

The PERC H730 provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Dell ReadyRails sliding rails plus a front bezel for standard cabinet installation.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what mistake should be avoided?

Two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; 256 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory fills 8 of the 24 slots — populate remaining slots in matched sets per channel to avoid reduced bandwidth.
