Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and an iDRAC8 Enterprise module provide redundancy and remote management.

Virtualisation hosts needing maximum core count

This configuration suits workloads such as virtualisation, databases or high-performance computing that benefit from 24 total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA media, but only two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are included. Buyers needing solid-state storage or more than eight drive bays should consider a different platform.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The system arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory, using all 24 DIMM slots. This amount determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset can reside in memory without swapping. If the workload requires more than 1.5 TB maximum capacity or a different memory configuration, the platform will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to mount this 2U server?

The unit is a standard 2U rack server and ships with Ready Rails included for installation in a compatible 4-post rack.

Can the installed 300GB 10K SAS drives be mixed with larger SAS or SATA drives in the same array?

The PERC H730 controller supports SAS and SATA drives in mixed configurations across the 8 drive bays with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.

How do I confirm the 768GB DDR4 memory is running at 2133MHz with ECC after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or system BIOS to view memory configuration, speed and ECC status for all 24 installed 32GB modules.
