Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays ready for SATA or SAS hard drives. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is included. This unit is sold new with no drives installed.

Capacity and headroom

Each Xeon delivers ten cores and 25 MB cache, giving twenty cores total for virtualisation or database workloads. Memory is at the platform maximum of 768 GB, so no further DIMMs can be added. The eight drive bays offer generous raw capacity for large arrays, while the PERC H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 495 W power supplies provide redundancy. The network card supplies two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports.

Single deciding specification

Maximum memory is fixed at 768 GB DDR4; buyers who need more RAM must choose a different platform. Drives are not included, so storage must be purchased separately. The system supports only two processors, both sockets are already populated. Integrated graphics are basic and not suited to GPU compute tasks. Rail kit is available on request but not supplied by default.

Questions about this item

Will this R730 chassis accept the 3.5-inch SAS drives I already own?

The server has eight 3.5-inch bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller, so existing SAS drives connect directly to the backplane.

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors and 768 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

During POST the BIOS lists both 10-core CPUs at 2.3 GHz and shows 768 GB of registered ECC memory; iDRAC8 Enterprise also reports the same inventory remotely.

Which items ship inside the box and which must be ordered separately?

The chassis includes two CPUs, 768 GB DDR4, PERC H730 controller, dual 495 W supplies, Intel 2×10 GbE + 2×1 GbE card and iDRAC8 Enterprise; drives and rail kit are not included.
