Dual-socket Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 six-core processors running at 2.4 GHz, 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and a PERC H730 storage controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters, or high-performance computing data nodes where dual-processor throughput and large memory capacity are required. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, require drive interfaces beyond SATA and SAS, or need a non-rack form factor should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory populated across 16 slots, leaving eight additional slots available for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. This memory capacity and error-correcting architecture directly determine suitability for memory-intensive virtualisation and database workloads.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply any DDR4 memory modules to reach the listed 512GB capacity?

No, the system arrives with 16 modules of 32GB DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC already installed, filling 16 of the 24 available slots and providing the full 512GB.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs together with older 2.5-inch SATA hard drives I might add?

Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so the installed 400GB SATA SSDs and any additional 2.5-inch SATA HDDs can be configured in the same RAID arrays.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server is powered on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the IP address shown on the front-panel LCD or issued by DHCP; the iDRAC8 Enterprise login screen will appear if the firmware is running correctly.
