PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors each run 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Storage controller and networking

A PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 8 Enterprise gives full remote management.

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum units keep the platform running during a power-supply failure. The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack installation. Buyers needing more than two processors or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

Questions about this item

What rack dimensions does the 2U R730 require?

The server is a 2U rackmount unit; depth and rail spacing must match your cabinet's specifications.

How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are populated; the common oversight is skipping the CPU installation tool to seat each 18-core processor evenly.

When will the PERC H730 controller battery need replacement?

The 1GB cache battery typically lasts several years; plan replacement when iDRAC 8 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed battery status.
