Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualization and database workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processor running at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller with SATA drive support. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise license.

Suits single-socket deployments needing high

This configuration suits buyers who need maximum installed RAM in a single-processor layout. The 384GB capacity leaves room to reach the 768GB ceiling by adding a second CPU and more modules. It is not for buyers who want storage drives included, because no drives are installed. It also does not suit dual-socket performance requirements out of the box, as only one processor is fitted.

384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The decisive specification is the 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated across the DIMM slots. This amount supports dense virtual-machine consolidation or in-memory databases immediately. The system uses DDR4 technology only; other memory generations are physically incompatible. Buyers must verify their application's memory-type requirement matches this DDR4 configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise licence are active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface using its dedicated network port; the dashboard shows controller firmware version, battery status and the Enterprise licence key. During POST the H730 BIOS reports drive count and RAID level.

What components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with one Xeon E5-2640 v3 at 2.6 GHz, 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, dual 495 W power supplies, PERC H730 SAS controller and Intel I350/X540 network card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports. No 2.5" drives or rail kit are installed.

Should I choose the single-processor 384 GB configuration or add a second CPU to reach 768 GB?

The board supports two processors and a maximum of 768 GB DDR4. If your workloads need more than 384 GB or benefit from the additional 8 cores and 20 MB cache, order the second E5-2640 v3; otherwise the installed single-socket setup is ready to run.
