Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor running at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives via the integrated PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Ideal for virtualisation, database.

This configuration suits buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense 2U form factor. The single processor leaves one socket open for future expansion up to two CPUs. Buyers who require direct-attached storage interfaces beyond the SAS/SATA backplane or who need a second processor installed immediately should look at other platforms.

PERC H730 SAS RAID controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730 SAS controller, which manages RAID across the eight 3.5-inch drive bays. It provides hardware RAID acceleration for SATA and SAS drives installed in the front-accessible bays. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported, making it the key specification for storage planning.

Questions about this item

Will the 384GB DDR4 need specific registered ECC modules when I expand toward the 768GB limit?

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered memory; matching registered ECC modules are required to reach the 768GB maximum capacity.

What thermal or power ceiling appears first when both 495W supplies run the 14-core Xeon at 2.6GHz continuously?

Dual 495W power supplies and the 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 at 2.6GHz set the sustained power envelope; thermal limits are managed by the chassis fan array.

How loud are the fans in the 8-bay 3.5" chassis during 24/7 operation with the PERC H730 and dual 495W PSUs?

The 8-bay 3.5" chassis uses a redundant fan wall that ramps with inlet temperature; expect datacentre-level airflow noise under continuous load.
