Dell PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 22 cores and 55 MB of cache. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across the available DIMM slots. No storage drives are installed, allowing the buyer to populate the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays as required.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum core count and large memory capacity in a standard 2U form factor. The PERC H730 RAID controller supports SAS drives for redundant arrays. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of total memory capacity or who require storage interfaces other than SAS should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and dual 495 W power supplies cover basic display and redundancy needs without extra hardware.

Maximum memory capacity of 768 GB

The platform supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 memory, exactly double the 384 GB installed. This ceiling is the single specification that determines whether the server can grow with future workload demands. If the application roadmap calls for memory beyond this limit, a different server generation will be necessary.

Questions about this item

What drive bays must the chassis provide for the 8x2.5" configuration?

The chassis supplies eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays compatible with the PERC H730 controller.

Will the installed Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors work with existing DDR4 ECC registered modules?

Yes, both CPUs use the same DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated to 384 GB.

How can I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller is operational after setup?

Check the controller BIOS during POST and confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard reports the H730 firmware version.
