Dell PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This server suits IT teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from dual-socket compute density and hardware RAID. Organisations needing GPU-accelerated workloads or more than ten drive bays should evaluate alternative configurations.

Ten 2.5-inch SAS drive bays populated

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch bays, all filled with 600 GB 10 K RPM SAS hard drives connected to the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This storage layout determines whether the capacity and IOPS profile matches the target application.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R730 require for mounting?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails for sliding installation in standard racks.

How are the two Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors and 128GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 128GB DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 8 of 24 slots — the step often missed is populating slots in the correct channel order per CPU.

Which components will need replacement first — the 600GB SAS drives, the H730 controller battery, or the 750W power supplies?

The 10x 600GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730 1GB controller battery are the typical first replacements; the hot-swap 750W platinum supplies tend to last longer.
