Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 8 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H730 1 GB controller managing eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails are included.

Suited to virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from 16 total cores and fast SATA SSD storage. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processors or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots define maximum memory

The system provides 24 memory slots with a maximum capacity of 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC. That slot count and ceiling determine whether the server can reach the memory footprint your workload demands.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface; both will show two 8-core processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo and 64 GB of registered ECC DDR4 running at 2133 MHz.

What ships inside the 2U chassis and what must I source separately?

The box contains the R730 with 2× Xeon E5-2640 v3, 4× 16 GB DDR4 modules, H730 1 GB controller with battery, 8× 800 GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2× 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; no extra parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I plan to expand beyond the installed 64 GB?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total; populate remaining slots with registered ECC DDR4 2133 MHz modules in matched sets to reach your target capacity.
