DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF 2x Xeon E5-2650L v3 256GB DDR4 rack server

Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server designed for data-centre workloads that demand high memory capacity and flexible 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Xeon E5-2650L v3 processors running at 1.8 GHz, providing 24 cores in total, and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to eight hot-swap bays for SATA drives, while dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE ports handle network traffic. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for memory-heavy roles.

This server fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and storage-heavy applications that benefit from the 768 GB maximum memory ceiling and eight large-form-factor bays. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or a tower or 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics controller only supports basic display output, so compute-intensive visual workloads are not practical on this chassis.

256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs populated across the available slots, leaving headroom to reach the 768 GB maximum if the workload grows. Memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4 specifications; no other generation is compatible. Confirm the installed capacity matches the application baseline before deployment, as additional modules must match the registered ECC requirement.
