Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 server arrives in an 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis with two Xeon E5-2660v4 processors and 384GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included. The system ships without hard drives so storage can be configured to order.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The dual-socket layout and large installed memory suit virtualisation clusters, database servers or compute nodes that need many threads and fast local storage bays. Buyers who need more than 768GB of total memory or who require a different drive form factor should look at another platform.

384GB DDR4 installed with room to 768GB

The board holds 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory today and can be expanded to 768GB across the available slots. This single figure determines whether the server meets the application's memory footprint before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis need?

The server occupies a standard 2U height and requires a rack at least 36 inches deep plus cable clearance; the 10 inch height matches a 2U slot so verify your rails support that depth.

How do you seat the PERC H730 RAID controller and the eight 3.5 inch drive backplane cables during installation?

Install the PERC H730 in the dedicated low-profile slot, then connect both mini-SAS cables from the controller to the backplane before powering on; the step often missed is securing the cable retention clips on each connector.

When should the two 495W power supplies and the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence be checked or replaced?

Treat the redundant 495W units as field-replaceable — swap a module if its amber LED lights or the iDRAC8 reports a power-supply fault; the Enterprise licence is perpetual so it only needs renewal if you move the server to a new Dell support contract.
