PowerEdge R730 2× Xeon E5-2698 v4

This 2U rack server ships with dual 20-core Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays are empty, while a PERC H730 controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide storage and remote management. Dual 495 W supplies power the chassis.

Suits dense virtualisation, not GPU workloads

The 384 GB RAM and 40 total cores handle heavy consolidation, databases or VDI. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe GPU space rule out compute or rendering tasks. Buyers who need more storage bays or accelerator cards should look at a different chassis.

384 GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory installed

This capacity fills 24 DIMM slots across both CPUs, leaving 24 slots open to reach the 768 GB maximum. The registered ECC modules are required for stability; unbuffered or non-ECC DDR4 will not work in this platform.

Questions about this item

How deep is the rack-mount chassis so I can confirm it fits my 36-inch cabinet?

The chassis measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, weighing 40 pounds.

What is the correct sequence for seating the two Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors and the 384GB DDR4 memory before closing the lid?

Install both processors into their sockets, populate all memory slots according to the DDR4 population guide, then secure the air shroud before powering on.

When should the 495W redundant power supplies be swapped out under continuous 24/7 operation?

Replace a power supply when its status LED turns amber or iDRAC8 logs a predictive failure alert for that module.
