Dual 16-core Xeon platform

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors. Each chip runs at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and provides 16 cores, giving 32 cores in total. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

512 GB DDR4 with room to grow

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory arranged as sixteen 32 GB modules at 2400 MHz. Twenty-four DIMM slots are available and the platform supports up to 1.5 TB, leaving significant headroom for memory-intensive applications. Storage is handled by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache driving eight 800 GB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch bays.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap supplies provide redundant power while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control and the chassis includes ready rails plus a front bezel for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 DDR4 slots accept the 32 GB registered ECC modules I already own?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and ships with 16 × 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules, so your existing 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC sticks will fit the same slots.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 800 GB SSDs after installation?

During POST the PERC H730 BIOS lists every detected drive; you can also open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface and check the storage inventory for all eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Which rails and bezel are included so I do not order them separately?

Ready Rails sliding rails and the front bezel are both included in the box; only SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports and any extra drives must be purchased separately.
