Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and eight 300GB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730 RAID controller. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Dual-socket Xeon for virtualisation and databases

The dual 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs at 2.5GHz with 3.3GHz turbo suit virtual desktop infrastructure, database nodes, and high-performance computing tasks. Organisations needing more than two sockets, newer Xeon Scalable architectures, or solid-state primary storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

1.5TB maximum DDR4 capacity

Twenty-four DIMM slots support up to 1.5TB of DDR4 memory, allowing substantial expansion from the factory 128GB configuration. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with future memory-intensive workloads.

Questions about this item

What rack height and mounting hardware does the R730 need?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for mounting in a standard 4-post rack.

What is the common mistake when installing the PERC H730 controller battery?

The battery must be connected to the controller before powering on the server; otherwise the write-back cache will remain disabled.

Which components are hot-swappable for later replacement?

The eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays, both 750 Watt power supplies and the cooling fans can all be swapped while the system is running.
