PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This server suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should consider a different platform.

PERC H730 controller with eight 300 GB SAS drives

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Eight 2.5-inch 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed in the eight-bay chassis. The system provides 24 DDR4 slots with a maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB for future expansion.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rails does the PowerEdge R730 need?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and includes Ready Rails for mounting.

How are the processors and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets, and 128GB of DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory fills 8 of the 24 DIMM slots; the step often missed is populating slots in the correct channel order for each processor.

Which components will need replacement first under heavy use?

The eight 300GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730 controller battery are the parts most likely to require replacement over time.
