Dual Xeon 2U Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for Database and VDI Workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who require more than two sockets or GPU-accelerated compute should consider alternative platforms.

128 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory Installed

The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules occupying eight of the 24 available slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 1.5 TB when all slots are populated with compatible DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs. This memory specification determines whether the server can handle the intended virtual machine density or database buffer pool size.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750 Watt power supply setup run under continuous load?

The server uses two 750 Watt Platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies that share the load, reducing heat output and fan speed during sustained operation.

Which cables or modules are required to use the onboard 10Gb SFP+ ports?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports; compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables must be supplied separately.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 400GB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5-inch SAS drives?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in the same 8-bay backplane, allowing RAID arrays that combine the installed SSDs with legacy SAS disks.
