Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation, database and compute-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis uses a Dell PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and integrated graphics.

Suits dense virtualisation

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS should evaluate other platforms because this system uses integrated graphics and a SAS RAID controller only.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed across the 24 DIMM slots. This leaves 384 GB of headroom up to the 768 GB maximum, so buyers can expand later without replacing existing modules.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller is fitted and what speed does it cap the drives at?

The Dell PERC H730 RAID controller manages the 2.5 inch SAS drive bays and sets the practical throughput limit for the installed disks.

What are the exact chassis dimensions and weight so I can confirm rack fit?

The unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and weighs 40 lb, matching a standard rack-mount form factor.

How is the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence activated after the server is racked and powered?

Connect the dedicated management port, power on the system, then access the iDRAC web interface to apply the Enterprise licence key.
