Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for midsize and large enterprises. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with eight cores each, providing 16 total cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits teams that need dense compute and fast local storage in a 2U form factor. The dual Xeon CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 support virtual desktop infrastructure and database nodes. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processors should look at a larger platform.

Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 with 128 GB DDR4

The two 8-core Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory set the performance ceiling for compute-heavy tasks. The PERC H730 controller manages the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs with hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Questions about this item

Do I need a rack cabinet with 2U of free space and rails to mount this server?

The server is a 2U rack unit and the listing includes ready rails, so a cabinet with at least 2U of clearance will accept it directly.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the eight 800GB SATA SSDs together with older SATA hard drives I might keep?

The PERC H730 supports mixed SATA devices and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, allowing the installed SSDs and any additional SATA drives to be combined in the same arrays.

How can I verify the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is operational after the server is powered on?

Connect the iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address and log in; the dashboard will display system health, firmware versions and sensor readings confirming the remote management is active.
