Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays, a single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 495 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management. The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and weighs 40 lb.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing large memory

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database servers or compute clusters that benefit from 16 cores and 256 GB of DDR4 memory with room to grow to 768 GB. Buyers who need a second processor, GPUs or pre-installed storage should look at a different configuration.

Single Xeon E5-2683 v4 with 16 cores

The installed processor is a Xeon E5-2683 v4 running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and 40 MB cache. This single-CPU layout determines the core count and memory bandwidth available; adding a second compatible processor would double both.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 3.5-inch drives for the eight bays?

Yes, the eight 3.5-inch bays ship empty so you must provide compatible SATA or SAS drives yourself.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage drives I already own from an older Dell server?

The PERC H730 supports SATA and SAS interfaces so most existing 3.5-inch drives will work, but confirm they are on the Dell certified drive list.

How can I confirm the single Xeon E5-2683 v4 and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 interface; both will display the processor model, core count and the full 256 GB of registered ECC memory.
