Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. It targets midsize and large enterprises running virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing workloads.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives suit environments needing high IOPS in a compact form factor. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ ports handles heavy east-west traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or single-threaded burst performance should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 1 GB battery-backed cache protects writes during power loss. This controller decides whether the server matches your storage redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included Dell Ready Rails require for this 2U PowerEdge R730?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded-hole racks; verify your cabinet's usable depth before mounting.

In which order should the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and the 24 DDR4 modules be seated during initial build?

Both CPU sockets are populated in the factory; install memory evenly across all 24 slots, filling each channel before moving to the next to avoid POST errors.

Which component on the PERC H730 controller will need replacement to keep RAID write-back cache protected?

The 1 GB cache module includes a battery that degrades over time; plan to swap the battery pack when iDRAC 8 reports a health warning.
