PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each offering 14 cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from 28 total cores and large memory capacity. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules determines immediate capacity for virtual machines and in-memory databases. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB maximum when all 24 slots are populated. Confirm your application memory footprint matches this starting configuration before deployment.

Questions about this item

Can the 14-core Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors share a chassis with older LGA 2011-3 CPUs I already own?

Both sockets are LGA 2011-3, so any compatible Xeon E5 v3 or v4 processor can be installed alongside the two 2.4 GHz 14-core units already fitted.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller and the X520/I350 network daughter card are operating correctly after first boot?

Open iDRAC 8 Enterprise, check the storage tab for H730 firmware version and virtual disk status, then verify the network tab shows two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports linked at line rate.

Which items ship inside the box and what must I source separately to fill the remaining drive bays?

The server arrives with 2× 300 GB 10 K SAS drives, 8× 32 GB DDR4 DIMMs, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; the other six 2.5″ SAS/SATA bays are empty and need additional drives or blanks.
