Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide fast storage for demanding workloads.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing nodes. The dual-processor design and large memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded applications. Buyers needing more than eight drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate other chassis options.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed memory uses 16 modules of 32 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC. This fills 16 of the 24 available slots and reaches one-third of the 1.5 TB maximum capacity. Confirm that your operating system and applications support this memory type and quantity before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 DDR4 memory modules into the 24 slots without leaving gaps?

Populate the 16 registered ECC modules in matched sets across the channels for each Xeon E5-2699 v3 so the memory controller sees balanced ranks.

When will the 800GB SATA SSDs behind the PERC H730 need replacement?

Replace the eight 800GB drives when the controller logs media-wear warnings or when sustained write latency rises above your service-level target.

What thermal limit appears first when both 18-core CPUs run at 3.6GHz turbo under load?

The 750W platinum power supplies hit their current ceiling before the chassis airflow reaches its design limit.
