Dual 18-core Xeon 2U rack 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 frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules.

Virtualisation and compute-heavy roles

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should look elsewhere.

PERC H730 RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SAS and SATA drives. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed in the eight-bay chassis.

Questions about this item

What type of memory modules are required to add more RAM to the 128GB DDR4 configuration?

Registered ECC DDR4 2133MHz modules are required to expand the memory beyond the 8x 16GB sticks installed across the 24 slots.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage SATA drives alongside the 2x 300GB SAS drives?

Yes, the H730 1GB controller supports both SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 or pass-through mode.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after installation?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then access the web interface via its IP address to confirm the lifecycle controller and remote console respond.
