Rack Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise environments. It runs dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4GHz with 6 cores each. The system includes 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Eight 800GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery backup.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration fits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses or high-performance computing nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Builders needing more than two processors, GPU acceleration or a 1U chassis should evaluate other platforms.

768GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 768GB of DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC memory occupies all 24 DIMM slots with 32GB modules. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5TB, but expansion requires removing existing modules. Buyers planning larger memory footprints must budget for module replacement rather than simple addition.

Questions about this item

How are the eight 2.5-inch 800GB SATA SSDs installed and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into the front hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730 RAID controller need later?

The controller carries a 1GB cache backed by a battery; that battery will degrade and should be replaced when the controller logs a cache-battery fault.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors run at 3.2GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; combined CPU turbo draw plus eight SSDs and quad-port networking can hit the 750W rating before thermal throttling activates.
