Dual-socket Xeon compute node

The PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing workloads.

Storage and network bundle

Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Hot-swap power supplies and included rails simplify deployment.

SAS 12 Gb/s interface limits

The backplane and H730 controller operate at 12 Gb/s SAS, so every installed drive shares that aggregate bandwidth. SATA devices can be mixed but will run at their native 6 Gb/s ceiling. The LGA 2011-3 platform caps at two processors and 1.5 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so memory expansion beyond the factory 64 GB requires additional registered ECC modules.

Questions about this item

How often do the 24 SAS 1.2TB 10K drives and the H730 controller battery need replacement?

The 24 enterprise 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement when SMART alerts appear. The H730 1GB controller battery typically lasts several years and should be swapped when the iDRAC8 Enterprise logs a battery‑degraded warning.

Which component hits its limit first during sustained all‑core workloads on the dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 16‑core CPUs?

The 2× 750W Platinum power supplies deliver ample headroom; thermal throttling on the 16‑core processors or the H730 controller cache under heavy write streams usually appears before power capacity is reached.

What noise, heat and power draw should I expect when the server runs 24×7 with both 750W PSUs active?

Dual 750W Platinum units share load efficiently; expect typical draw well below 750W, fan speed ramping with CPU and drive temperatures, and audible airflow in a 2U rack — plan for standard server‑room cooling.
