Dual 14-Core Xeon Server for Virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It provides 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. The system includes a PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays are fitted without drives.

Suits Consolidated Workloads, Not Maximum Density

This configuration fits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or VDI where dual-socket compute and large memory capacity are priorities. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots, more than two processor sockets or more than eight front drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Installed Across 24 Slots

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory installed in 16 of the 24 available slots, leaving room to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum. This single figure determines whether the current capacity meets the workload or if additional modules must be procured before deployment.

Questions about this item

What drives do I need to populate the 8 front 2.5-inch trays?

The trays accept 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives or SSDs; no drives are included with the server.

Can the PERC H730 controller still manage the RAID arrays if I keep my older 6 Gb/s SAS disks?

Yes, the H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s for legacy drives while providing RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is responding after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to the IP shown on the front LCD, and log in with the default credentials to reach the iDRAC dashboard.
