Built for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are pre-installed in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Tool-Less Rail Installation With Cable Planning

The included Ready Rails allow tool-less mounting in standard four-post racks. Hot-swap power supplies and drive carriers are accessible from the front and rear without removing the chassis lid. The most common issue is cable routing for the quad-port network daughter card; the SFP+ transceivers and patch cables must be ordered separately to match the switch optics.

768 GB DDR4 Decides Capacity Headroom

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz memory occupies all 24 DIMM slots with 32 GB modules. The platform maximum is 1.5 TB, so any further expansion requires replacing existing modules. Buyers who need more memory capacity than 768 GB must budget for a full DIMM swap rather than a simple add-on.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730 controller reports the 2 x 400GB SSDs and 768GB of DDR4 after boot?

Enter the PERC H730 BIOS or iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface on first boot; both will display the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and all twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 modules totalling 768 GB.

Which items ship in the box and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with 2 x Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, 768 GB DDR4, H730 controller with battery, 2 x 400 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2 x 750 W PSUs, bezel and ready rails; no additional components are included.

Which configuration matches a workload needing maximum memory headroom and dual 10 GbE uplinks?

This unit already provides the maximum 768 GB DDR4 across all 24 slots and the X520/I350 daughter card with 2 x 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so no further version selection is required.
