Dual Xeon 14-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. The system is populated with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum. It targets organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity in a 2U rack footprint.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The 8SFF front panel accepts up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives, backed by a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. No drives are installed, so buyers can choose capacity and redundancy to match the workload. The jump from a smaller bay count is worth it when local storage density must scale with the 768GB memory ceiling.

Redundant power and 10GbE networking

Dual 495W supplies provide fail-over for the fully loaded configuration. An Intel I350/X540 card delivers two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for high-throughput east-west traffic. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise simplify remote management without consuming a PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit do I need for the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis?

The server is 36 inches deep, so a standard 42 U rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth is required; a compatible Dell rail kit is available on request for secure mounting.

How do I install the PERC H730 RAID controller and the 768 GB DDR4 memory, and what step is often missed?

The PERC H730 and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory come pre-installed; the step often missed is updating the iDRAC8 enterprise firmware and BIOS to the latest stable version before first boot.

Which components will need replacement first in the 2 x 495 W power supply and 8 x 2.5 in drive bay configuration?

The two 495 W power supplies and any SAS drives added to the eight 2.5 inch bays are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and the iDRAC8 module are also serviceable over time.
