Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 8 cores and 3.4 GHz turbo. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs provide high-speed storage in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

The dual-socket design and large memory capacity suit virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes and high-performance computing tasks. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need a single-socket platform or more than eight drive bays should look at a different class of system.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache accelerates write performance and protects data during power loss. This controller decides whether the storage topology matches the application’s redundancy and throughput requirements.

Questions about this item

Does this server need any extra memory modules or storage drives to boot and run workloads?

No. The system ships with 768GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 400GB SATA SSDs, so it is ready to operate immediately.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise and manage older 6Gb/s SATA drives I might add to the empty bays?

Yes. The H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, so legacy 6Gb/s SATA drives will be detected and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs are reaching their 3.4GHz turbo frequency under load?

Use iDRAC 8 Enterprise or the system BIOS to monitor real-time CPU frequency; the dashboard will show each core scaling up to 3.4GHz when thermal headroom allows.
