PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4 GHz six-core processors and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It includes a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller, two 800 GB SATA SSDs, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, dual 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration suits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data warehousing or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 12 total cores, 1.5 TB maximum memory capacity across 24 slots and redundant hot-swap power. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or single-thread performance beyond 3.2 GHz turbo should look at other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots define memory ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, which determines whether the server can grow to the capacity your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 750 W platinum supplies draw under full load?

Each supply is rated at 750 W with platinum efficiency; the pair provides full redundancy so one can handle the load if the other fails.

What must I supply to activate the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote-management features?

A dedicated Ethernet cable to the iDRAC port and a browser on the same network; the licence is already installed on the motherboard.

Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives and add them to the eight-bay chassis?

Yes — the PERC H730 controller supports SATA SSDs and HDDs in any of the eight hot-swap bays alongside the two 800 GB drives already installed.
