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 two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 14 cores and 35 MB cache. The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for memory-heavy clusters.

This configuration delivers 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots, with headroom to reach the platform maximum of 768 GB. Integrated graphics and the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence cover remote management, but there is no discrete GPU option in the 8SFF chassis. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate a different form factor.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The single specification that determines fit is the installed memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered. This quantity dictates the virtual machine density, in-memory database size and licensing tier the server can support today, while the 24-slot architecture allows future expansion to 768 GB without replacing modules.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R730 chassis provide?

The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA drives.

What is required to rack-mount the server, and which step is often missed?

A compatible rail kit must be secured to the rack first; the server then slides in and locks — skipping the rail installation is the common error.

Which memory type and maximum capacity should I plan for future upgrades?

The system uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory and supports up to 768 GB total across 24 DIMM slots.
