PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation clusters and database workloads. It arrives with a single Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor running at 2.4GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The 8 LFF chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Capacity and headroom

The installed 384GB of DDR4 memory leaves 384GB of headroom before the 768GB maximum. A single 10-core CPU occupies one of two sockets so a second processor can be added for heavier compute loads. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across all eight drive bays. Storage capacity depends entirely on the drives you install.

Build and connectivity

Dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy in a 36 x 24 x 10 inch form factor weighing 40 pounds. Network connectivity includes two 10GbE ports and two 1GbE ports via Intel I350 and X540 adapters. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete GPU. Rail kits are available separately for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the server's 3.5" drive bays accept my existing SATA hard drives?

The 8LFF chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays with a SATA interface, so any standard 3.5-inch SATA drive will fit and connect directly to the PERC H730 controller.

How can I confirm the 384GB of DDR4 memory is recognised and error-free after installation?

On boot, the BIOS POST screen will display the full 384GB installed, and the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard will report every DIMM as healthy with zero correctable errors.

Which components ship with the unit and which must I order separately?

The server arrives with one Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor, 384GB DDR4 ECC RAM, PERC H730 RAID card, dual 495W power supplies, and the 2x10GbE + 2x1GbE network card; drive trays and hard drives are not included.
