Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE network ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and dual 495W power supplies complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This system fits workloads that benefit from twenty-four total cores, large DDR4 capacity and built-in ten-gigabit connectivity. Buyers who need more than 768GB of memory or more than two processor sockets should evaluate larger platforms. Environments requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays will not be served by this chassis.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller manages up to eight SATA hard drives in the 3.5-inch bays. This specification determines whether the storage layout matches your capacity and redundancy requirements. No drives are included, so the controller and bay count are the fixed parameters for any storage deployment.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum DDR4 memory capacity the R730 can accept for a future upgrade?

The system supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its 24 DIMM slots.

Which component will throttle first when both Xeon E5-2690 v3 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz continuously?

The dual 495 W power supplies and chassis airflow set the thermal and power ceiling for sustained 24-core workloads.

How loud are the cooling fans when the server operates 24 hours a day in a rack?

High-speed redundant fans generate significant noise under full CPU and memory load, typical for a 2U 12th-generation rack server.
