Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller managing eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations that need dense compute and memory for virtualisation, database workloads or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require more than 1.5 TB of total memory, additional processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots determines immediate capacity for virtual machines and in-memory databases. The system supports a maximum of 1.5 TB, allowing future expansion without replacing the existing modules. Verify that your workload fits within this memory ceiling before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the H730 controller support SATA drives if I keep my existing 2.5" SSDs?

Yes, the Dell PERC H730 1GB controller handles both 12Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in the eight 2.5" bays, so your current SSDs will work.

Will the two E5-2660 v3 CPUs fit the LGA 2011-3 sockets on this board?

The server ships with two E5-2660 v3 processors already installed in the dual LGA 2011-3 sockets, reaching the maximum of two CPUs.

How can I confirm the 256GB DDR4 is running at 2133MHz after installation?

Check the memory speed in the iDRAC 8 Enterprise inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen; both report the 2133MHz registered ECC modules.
