Dual 18-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors deliver 18 cores each at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across eight 32 GB modules. The platform supports up to 1.5 TB across 24 DIMM slots.

Suited for virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives provide high-throughput local storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-thread frequency above 3.6 GHz or more than 24 memory slots should evaluate other platforms.

Ten 600 GB SAS drives on H730

The storage subsystem centres on ten 2.5-inch 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to the PERC H730 12 Gb/s controller. This combination determines usable capacity, RAID flexibility and sustained I/O performance for the target workloads. Network connectivity uses a quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Remote management is provided by iDRAC 8 Enterprise.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with the SFP+ transceivers needed to use the 10GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports, but transceivers and cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 600GB SAS drives together with larger SATA drives I might add later?

Yes, the H730 supports mixed SAS and SATA drives in the same array, so you can expand with higher-capacity SATA disks while keeping the current 600GB SAS units.

After powering on, how do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active and reachable?

During POST the iDRAC8 IP address is displayed; you can also press the dedicated iDRAC button on the front panel to view or set the network configuration directly.
