DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 256GB DDR4

Built for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes.

Sustained Operation with Redundant Power and Cooling

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous uptime. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, maintaining write performance during extended rebuilds. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management without host OS dependency.

Verify Rack Depth and Drive Selection Before

The chassis accepts eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays but ships without drives; confirm capacity and endurance ratings for your workload. Memory expansion reaches 1.5 TB across 24 slots, so check existing DIMM population if you plan to add modules. Ensure your rack provides sufficient depth for the 2U form factor with ready rails installed, and that SFP+ transceivers match your switch optics.
