Dual Xeon 18-core 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives connect through a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense SAS capacity

This server suits environments that run virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing nodes where dual-socket compute density and large SAS storage pools are required. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need solid-state primary storage or more than 24 DIMM slots should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery-backed 1 GB cache determines which drive configurations and RAID levels are possible. It manages the eight 2.5-inch drive bays and supports pass-through mode for non-RAID use. Confirm that this controller matches your storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the E5-2699 v3 CPUs and DDR4 memory fit my existing LGA 2011-3 rack chassis?

The server uses two LGA 2011-3 sockets and 2133 MHz DDR4 registered ECC modules, so it matches chassis and memory built for that platform.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 2.4 TB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or log into iDRAC8 Enterprise; both will list each 2.4 TB 10K SAS drive and the RAID virtual disks you created.

Which items ship inside the 2U box and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the motherboard, two CPUs, four 16 GB DDR4 DIMMs, H730 controller, eight 2.4 TB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; SFP+ transceivers and cables for 10 GbE links are not included.
