PowerEdge R730 8x3.5" dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Memory capacity and drive bay layout

This server suits workloads that demand large DDR4 memory capacity within a two-socket limit, such as virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases. The eight 3.5-inch bays fit high-capacity SATA drives for bulk storage. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU compute acceleration, or single-thread performance beyond 2.1GHz should look elsewhere.

Max memory fixed at 768GB

The installed 768GB DDR4 matches the system maximum, so no further memory expansion is possible. Buyers anticipating future RAM growth must choose a platform with higher per-socket limits.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 768GB DDR4 memory and which step is often missed?

Populate all 24 DIMM slots evenly across both Xeon E5-2620 v4 processors; the step often missed is matching identical ranks per channel so the system trains at full speed.

What maintenance will the PERC H730 SAS controller and 495W power supplies need later?

Check the PERC H730 battery backup module every 12 months and clean power-supply fans quarterly; replace either unit if the iDRAC8 Enterprise log reports degradation.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2620 v4 CPUs run sustained 2.1GHz loads?

The 495W redundant power supplies hit their thermal ceiling first; iDRAC8 will throttle the 20MB cache cores before the DDR4 memory bandwidth saturates.
