Purpose-built density server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits two Xeon E5-2637 v4 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack form factor with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It targets workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single chassis, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of RAM or more than two sockets should look elsewhere.

Thermals and power profile

Dual 495 W power supplies deliver redundant 12th-generation power to the CPUs, memory and PERC H730 controller. The rackmount layout directs airflow front-to-back across the processors and memory risers under standard data-centre cooling. No GPU or additional add-in cards are installed, so acoustic output remains typical for a 2U server in a cooled aisle.

Bundled management and expansion

An iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote console, power control and firmware updates without an operating system. The PERC H730 SAS controller supports RAID across SATA or SAS drives that you add to the eight bays. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 ports provide two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE links for storage and management traffic. Rail kit is available separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 512GB DDR4 memory and what step is often missed?

The 512GB DDR4 ECC Registered modules populate the 24 DIMM slots across both Xeon E5-2637 v4 processors; the step often missed is balancing identical capacities per channel for each CPU to enable full quad-channel bandwidth.

Which component will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The two 495W power supplies are the first field-replaceable units to wear under sustained load; both are hot-swappable and share the load for the 8LFF chassis.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the PERC H730 drives all eight 3.5" bays at full speed?

The 495W redundant power supply rating becomes the limiting factor before the iDRAC8 thermal thresholds when all eight large-form-factor drives and both 3.5GHz Xeons run continuously.
