Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes

Organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance computing data nodes will benefit from the 28 total cores and large memory capacity. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card supports typical data-centre connectivity needs.

24 DDR4 slots define maximum memory

The system provides 24 DIMM slots supporting DDR4 registered ECC modules up to a 1.5 TB maximum capacity, with 256 GB already installed in eight 32 GB modules. This slot count and memory ceiling determine whether the server can scale to the working-set size your applications demand.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed and form factor does the R730 require for the 256 GB already installed?

The system uses 2133 MHz registered ECC DDR4 DIMMs; the 256 GB ships as eight 32 GB modules.

Can the existing Dell PERC H730 controller manage the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives together with older SATA disks I might add?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

Watch the front-panel LCD for the iDRAC IP address, then open a browser to that address and log in with the default credentials.
