2U Rack Server with Eight 3.5-Inch Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a dual-socket 2U rackmount server built for memory-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect to a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting SATA drives. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration fits environments that prioritise large memory capacity and internal storage density over GPU acceleration. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives mean buyers needing discrete compute or pre-loaded arrays should evaluate other platforms. Dual 495W supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Memory Capacity Decides Fit

The installed 384GB DDR4 sits at half the 768GB maximum supported by the platform. If the target workload fits within this ceiling the server is ready to deploy; if growth beyond 384GB is imminent the remaining DIMM headroom must be populated before production use.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2697 v3 CPUs and 384 GB DDR4 memory fit into my current R730 chassis without a BIOS update?

The unit ships with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable version, so the installed 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors and 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory are ready for immediate use in a compatible R730 8x3.5" chassis.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller and dual 495 W power supplies are operating correctly after installation?

Each server completes full diagnostics and burn-in testing before shipment; the integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management interface provides real-time health status for the PERC H730 controller, both 495 W supplies, fans and temperatures.

Which drive caddies and rail kit do I need to purchase separately for the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives; drive carriers and the sliding rail kit are not included and must be ordered separately for your specific rack depth.
