Dual-socket Xeon rack server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules supports memory-intensive applications.

Hot-swap drive bays and rails simplify rack

Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays accept the included 2.4 TB 10K enterprise drives and connect to the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails are installed, but the chassis depth requires a four-post rack; two-post racks will not provide adequate support.

Verify rack depth, network cabling

Confirm the cabinet depth accommodates the 2U form factor with cable clearance for the quad-port X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. The system has 24 DDR4 slots with a 1.5 TB maximum, so plan future memory upgrades within registered ECC specifications. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management once networked.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors and 128GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Power on the server and open the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will display two 10-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which drives, rails and bezel are included and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives, a PERC H730 1 GB controller with battery, ready rails and a front bezel; additional drives, SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports or extra memory modules are not included.

Which memory configuration matches the installed 128GB DDR4 and allows future expansion?

The system arrives with eight 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules occupying 8 of 24 slots, leaving 16 slots free to reach the 1.5 TB maximum using identical DDR4 RDIMMs.
