Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount system populated with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz, delivering 16 cores per socket for heavily threaded workloads. It is aimed at IT teams consolidating virtual machines, databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from abundant memory bandwidth.

Memory capacity and headroom

The chassis holds 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, which matches the platform maximum and leaves no free DIMM slots for expansion. This amount comfortably supports dense virtualisation or in-memory analytics, while workloads requiring more than 768 GB will need a different platform.

Build integration and trade-offs

The 8-bay 2.5-inch SAS front end connects to a PERC H730 RAID controller and dual 495 W power supplies, with iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote management. No drives are installed, so storage capacity and redundancy must be added separately. The integrated graphics and four onboard network ports (two 10 GbE, two 1 GbE) handle basic display and connectivity without extra cards.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon processors and DDR4 memory work with my existing SAS drives?

The PERC H730 controller uses a SAS interface, so your current SAS drives will connect directly to the backplane and be managed by the installed RAID controller.

How can I confirm the dual 10 GbE and dual 1 GbE network ports are active after installation?

Log into the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or the operating system to verify all four network adapters show link status and negotiated speeds.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this 8-bay chassis?

The system ships with two Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730 RAID controller, two 495 W power supplies, and the quad-port network card; 2.5-inch drives and rail kit are not included.
