Enterprise 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing workloads. Dual 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 processors at 2.0 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo and 512 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 16 modules provide the compute and memory capacity these workloads demand.

Verify rack depth and power before ordering

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with sliding rails and that the facility supplies redundant power circuits for the two 750 W platinum-efficiency supplies. The system uses LGA 2011-3 sockets and DDR4 registered ECC modules only; standard unbuffered DDR4 will not function. Ten 2.5-inch SAS drive bays are populated with 600 GB 10 K drives, so no additional caddies are required for the factory configuration.

Dual CPUs, 24 DIMM slots and quad-port networking

Two processors are installed and the board supports no more, while 24 DIMM slots allow expansion to 1.5 TB total memory. The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages SAS or SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 with battery-backed cache. A quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ connections, and iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Hot-swap power supplies and drive bays simplify maintenance without downtime.

Questions about this item

Does the R730 arrive with all 10 SAS drives and both CPUs already installed?

Yes, the system ships with 10x 600GB 10K SAS drives, dual Xeon E5-2683 v3 14-core processors, 512GB DDR4, PERC H730 controller, quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, dual 750W PSUs, rails and bezel.

Should I choose the 512GB configuration or add more DDR4 later?

The 512GB (16x 32GB) fills 16 of 24 slots at 2133MHz; you can expand to 1.5TB by populating the remaining eight slots with matching registered ECC DDR4 modules.

What throughput can the PERC H730 deliver with these 10 drives in RAID 10?

The H730 12Gb/s controller supports RAID 10 across all 10x 600GB SAS drives; sustained read/write will be limited by the 10K spindle speed and 12Gb/s SAS link rather than the 1GB cache.
