Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It delivers 24 cores total and comes populated with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The PERC H730 controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives in the front bays.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense memory and 10 GbE

The configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads, databases or VDI where the 1.5 TB maximum memory ceiling and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports provide headroom. It is less suitable for deployments that require more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The single specification that determines fit is the 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory already installed across 16 of the 24 DIMM slots. Buyers must verify that this capacity and memory type match their application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 512GB DDR4 memory and 8x 1.2TB SAS drives are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface; both will display 512GB across 16 slots and show all eight 1.2TB drives on the PERC H730 controller.

Which accessories ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The box includes two 750W power supplies, ready rails, front bezel, and the X520/I350 quad-port network card; you only need to add an operating system and any extra drives or memory.

Which configuration suits a virtualisation host needing maximum RAM headroom?

This unit has 16 of 24 DDR4 slots populated with 32GB modules; 12 slots remain free, allowing expansion to the 1.5TB maximum if workloads grow.
