Enterprise rack server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 total cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules supports heavy virtualization, database and high-performance computing tasks. The PERC H730 controller manages storage with RAID flexibility.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies

Two 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. The 2U chassis houses eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with two 400 GB enterprise SATA SSDs. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management without operating-system access. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections on a daughter card.

512 GB DDR4 across 16 slots leaves eight slots

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory using 16 of 24 available slots. Maximum capacity reaches 1.5 TB when all slots are filled. Buyers who need more memory headroom can add modules up to the 1.5 TB limit without replacing existing DIMMs.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 32GB modules into the 24 slots, and which population rule do people miss?

Fill the 16 slots assigned to the two installed Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs first; the remaining 8 slots stay empty until a second processor pair is added, which this chassis does not support.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 1GB controller need over time?

The onboard battery backs the write cache; plan to replace it when the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface reports a degraded or failed battery state.

Which limit appears first when both 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors run at 3.3GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; sustained turbo on all 24 cores will reach the power budget before the cooling capacity is exceeded.
