PowerEdge R730 2U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This configuration targets midsize and large organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing as a data node. The dual CPUs and large memory pool support dense virtualisation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration will not find that capability on this system. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 2.4 TB 10K SAS disks.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the storage performance and redundancy options available for the eight installed 2.4 TB drives.

Questions about this item

Will the LGA 2011-3 socket Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory modules?

Yes, the installed 128GB uses eight 16GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC DIMMs, matching the CPUs' supported memory speed and type.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and all eight 2.4TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST for drive detection and RAID status, then use iDRAC8 Enterprise to monitor drive health, array state and controller firmware version.

Which rails, bezel and network cards ship with the server, and what must I source separately?

Ready Rails, front bezel and the Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card (two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+) are included; SFP+ transceivers and cables are not.
