Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships new with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 1.2 TB SAS drives.

Consolidation and VDI focus

This configuration suits organizations that need strong multi-threaded CPU performance and large memory capacity for virtualization, databases or VDI. It is not intended for workloads that require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets.

512 GB DDR4 with 24 slots

The system provides 512 GB of registered DDR4 2133 MHz ECC memory across 16 populated DIMM slots, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum supported by the Intel C610 chipset.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 12Gb/s SAS cables work with the H730 controller in this R730?

Yes, the PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so standard 12Gb/s SAS cables are compatible.

How can I verify the 512GB DDR4 memory is running at 2133MHz after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both report speed and ECC status for each of the 16 DIMMs.

Are the 8x 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and both 750W power supplies included, or must I order them separately?

The eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and two 750W Platinum power supplies are installed; rails and bezel are also in the box.
