Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing nodes.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The server provides 24 hot-swap drive bays that accept SAS or SATA devices and includes a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 as well as pass-through mode. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed, leaving capacity for extensive storage expansion.

Quad-port networking and remote management included

A factory-fitted Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible uplink options. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full out-of-band remote management with virtual console and lifecycle automation. Buyers needing fibre-channel connectivity or GPU compute acceleration will require additional expansion cards not included in this configuration.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock mean when both 14-core Xeons are under load?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors runs at 2.0 GHz base frequency with 14 cores, providing 28 total cores for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or database processing.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The H730 controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, and its 1GB cache with battery backs write operations during power loss.

What rack depth and rail type are required to mount this 2U chassis?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails for tool-less installation in standard 4-post racks and occupies 2U of vertical space; the bezel covers the front 24-bay 2.5" drive enclosure.
