Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 server for dense storage

The PowerEdge R730xd fits two ten-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo into a 2U rack chassis. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory occupy four of twenty-four slots. Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays connect to a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency units share the load, keeping each supply in its high-efficiency band during normal operation. The iDRAC 8 Enterprise module provides out-of-band monitoring, virtual console and power control over a dedicated management port. Front-to-rear airflow passes through the 24-bay mid-plane and CPU heatsinks, so fan speeds stay moderate when the system runs typical database or virtualisation workloads.

Sustained load keeps thermals steady with headroom

Under continuous multi-threaded pressure both CPUs hold their 2.6 GHz base clock while the H730 battery-backed cache absorbs write bursts. Memory bandwidth scales across the four populated channels, leaving twenty empty DIMM slots for future expansion up to 1.5 TB. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports maintain line-rate throughput for storage replication or vMotion traffic without saturating the PCIe lanes shared with the storage controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" drives into the 24 front bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into its tray until the latch clicks, then insert the tray into the bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is seating the tray lever fully so the backplane connector engages.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 controller need later?

The H730 includes a 1GB cache backed by a battery; the battery should be checked periodically and replaced when it no longer holds charge to keep write-back caching active.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs run at 3.3GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 2x 750W platinum power supplies set the thermal and power ceiling; sustained 3.3GHz turbo on all 20 cores can hit that limit before CPU temperature throttles.
