Dual Xeon 14-core server for virtualization

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are fitted.

Suits dense virtualization and database nodes.

This configuration suits midsize enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card supports demanding east-west traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere.

768 GB DDR4 across 24 slots defines memory headroom

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz memory fills all 24 DIMM slots, leaving no room for expansion without removing modules. Maximum supported capacity is 1.5 TB, so future growth requires replacing the existing 32 GB DIMMs. This memory ceiling is the key factor when sizing the server for virtualization density or in-memory databases.

Questions about this item

What storage drives must I supply to use the eight 2.5-inch trays?

The trays accept 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; no drives are included.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 add-in cards work in the available expansion slots?

The board uses the Intel C610 chipset with PCIe 3.0 lanes, so PCIe 3.0 cards are compatible.

How can I confirm the 768 GB of DDR4 memory is recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory map; both will show 24 × 32 GB modules at 2400 MHz.
