Dell PowerEdge R730xd Server CPUs | Intel Xeon Processors Options | LGA2011-3 Socket | CPU Install

These videos have been great - I doubled the ram in my server and am about to put in some E5-2695V4's. Having these stepy by step guides is handy, even if you are surrounded by home built beige boxes - Servver anatomy is sufficiently different to commodity PC hardware. Enough to warrant a clear step by step before doing the actual task.

Appreciate you!

[@wlgt3257]

These videos are why I purchased from you guys, great stuff, thanks for taking the time.

[@cloudninjas]

You're a god-sent H.W miracle, can't stress enough on how much you helped me build my Lab! keep it going man! awesome!

[@cloudninjas]

Truly appreciate this! Really do.

edit: WARNING!: The DRAC will WIPE ALL historic logged data. So all the logged power usage and everything from the Hardware tab: System Board SYS, CPU, MEM & IO Usage. Which is extremely infuriating... Who wouldn't want to compare system power usage and load before and after swapping the CPUs? Really useful video - and perfect timing as I've just had new CPU's turn up. I gotta be honest though. You're using this as a sales pitch and I was 100% behind you until the electric screwdriver came out. Seems not just entirely unnecessary, but potentially dangerous - heck, you even rounded one of the screws off slightly. CPU installation needs to be tight, but it's also the sort of thing where you want feedback; which you'd get from a manual screwdriver. Or one with a clutch ;)

Appreciate your feedback!

Excellent video. Quick question - I'm currently looking to upgrade from Intel Xeon E5-2697V2 to Intel Xeon E5-2699A V4. Am I am able to update the BIOS and Firmware without going via a v3?

[@J.Livermore]

Brilliant, Thank you!

[@cloudninjas]

Thank you Tomasz!

Hi there, I just ordered a quadro p4000 for my r730xd - i’m not sure what cable it needs and where exactly that power cable would be attached - any ideas for me? thanks Mick!

[@rtucker8837]

What are your thoughts on the E5-2667v4 for this server?

[@cloudninjas]

Great proc!

[@Joeron79]

I have a question. I have Dell r730xd. What screwdriver types and size to remove heatsink?

[@tysmith1359]

Great vid! Q: if I'm going from 1 CPU to 2 CPUs, are there other considerations? I have redundant 750W PSUs.

[@cloudninjas]

Make sure you have a 2nd heat sink. Spread your memory evenly across all the channels and don't just leave on CPU1. Add in a dash of love and you are good to go!

[@cloudninjas]

And appreciate the positive feedback!

[@cd819]

Can you disble 1 if you have 2 but dont need that much ?

[@Joeron79]

I have a question. What do you recommend how many watts PSUs with dual 22-core processor?

[@cloudninjas]

Dual 1100W

[@Joeron79]

@@cloudninjas i have another question. What do you recommend how many volts with UPS rack ?

[@iskorobogatov]

what is this wooden "hammer" used for, which is present on all videos ? ))

[@cloudninjas]

It's just for fun and hitting the gong. No actual purpose.
