Server overview

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or high-performance workloads in a standard rack cabinet.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides 36 inches of depth, 24 inches of width and 10 inches of height for the chassis, and that the 40 weight unit load is within the rack rating. Confirm the facility can supply two 495W power supplies and that your storage plan uses 3.5 inch SATA or SAS drives compatible with the PERC H730 controller.

Build and connectivity

The chassis houses eight 3.5 inch drive bays and the PERC H730 SAS controller for hardware RAID. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters deliver two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Dual 495W supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

Does the R730 arrive with any 3.5-inch drives or must I supply them myself?

The chassis has eight 3.5-inch bays but no drives are installed; you add the SATA or SAS drives you need.

Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 768 GB maximum?

512 GB DDR4 ECC registered is already installed across the available slots; adding more modules later can reach 768 GB if your workload demands it.

What does the dual Xeon E5-2690 v3 2.6 GHz 12-core setup deliver for virtualisation density?

Twenty-four cores and 30 MB cache per processor give high thread count for dense VM deployments while the PERC H730 handles RAID for local storage.
