Dual-socket Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 22 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suits virtualisation and database nodes.

This server fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, or high-performance computing workloads. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Organisations needing more than 1.5 TB of RAM or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

1.5 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The system supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots, making total memory capacity the key specification for scaling demanding workloads. The installed 64 GB configuration uses four 16 GB modules, leaving 20 slots available for expansion. Buyers should verify that their application fits within this memory ceiling before purchase.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA H730 controller cap at in practice?

The Dell PERC H730 1GB mini controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS/SATA and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through.

What rail depth and rack height does the R730 need to mount?

It is a 2U rack server that ships with Ready Rails for standard 4-post racks; allow full chassis depth when planning cabinet space.

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

Two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors go into LGA 2011-3 sockets; populate the 24 DDR4 slots in the correct channel order for 2400MHz registered ECC operation.
