Dual 14-core Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency and provides 14 cores, giving 28 threads total. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 16 slots, leaving eight slots open for expansion up to 1.5 TB. It targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

Check power, network and rack space

Verify that your facility can supply two 750-watt platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies and that your rack provides a 2U slot with ready-rail mounting. The network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so confirm compatible switching and cabling. The PERC H730 controller manages twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through; ensure your storage topology matches these options. iDRAC8 Enterprise requires a dedicated management network connection for remote console and lifecycle control.

Twelve-bay chassis with redundant cooling

The twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch bays hold the included 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives and allow hot-swap replacement without tools. Dual redundant power supplies and hot-swap fans keep the system running during component failure. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for secure rack installation and a clean appearance. The LGA 2011-3 sockets and C610 chipset limit future CPU upgrades to the same processor generation, so plan capacity within the existing 28-core ceiling.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the R730xd and what must I purchase separately?

The system ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730 controller with battery, twelve 8 TB 3.5" SATA drives, an X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel. No additional components are included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this server?

The unit already contains 512 GB across 16 DIMM slots, leaving 8 slots free. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB total, so you can add up to 1 TB more using DDR4 registered ECC modules if your workload needs it.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock mean for actual performance?

Each of the 28 cores runs at 2.4 GHz base and can turbo to 3.3 GHz under load, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and HPC data-node tasks when paired with the 512 GB DDR4 and 12 Gb/s storage controller.
