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 E5-2683 v3 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives provide fast storage capacity.

Suited for virtualisation.

This server suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The dual-processor design and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation and memory-intensive applications. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS, or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 14-core Xeon processors with 256 GB DDR4

The defining specification is the pair of 14-core Xeon processors combined with 256 GB of DDR4 memory. This configuration determines whether the server can handle the intended concurrent workloads and virtual machine density. The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache complete the storage foundation for read-heavy enterprise applications.

Questions about this item

What rack dimensions do the included rails support for the R730?

The ready rails mount in a standard 2U rack space and the front bezel is included for a clean fit.

Can the H730 controller use the existing SATA SSDs if I add mechanical drives later?

The PERC H730 handles both SAS and SATA drives, so the eight 800GB SATA SSDs will stay online while you populate the remaining bays with compatible disks.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise is reachable after the server powers on?

Connect the dedicated management port, then browse to the IP shown on the LCD panel or issued by DHCP; the login screen confirms the remote controller is active.
