Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It is designed for virtualization, databases and high-performance computing tasks.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This server suits IT teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or e-commerce platforms that need strong multi-threaded CPU performance and large memory capacity. The dual Xeon configuration and 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of RAM for dense consolidation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as the 2U chassis and included hardware do not support graphics cards.

PERC H730 RAID controller

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays, though no drives are included. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, managed remotely via iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

What drives do I need to fill the 8 × 2.5" trays that come with the server?

The chassis includes eight 2.5" trays that accept SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; no drives are installed.

Will my existing DDR4 RDIMMs work with the 24 slots already populated by 24 × 32 GB modules?

All 24 slots are filled with 32 GB DDR4-2400 registered ECC DIMMs, so any additional memory would require removing modules first.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller and both 750 W power supplies are operating correctly after installation?

Use iDRAC8 Enterprise to check controller status, RAID health and power-supply redundancy alerts once the server is powered on.
