Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualization and database workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays provide high-capacity storage density for growing datasets.

Tool-Less Rails and Controller Setup

The chassis uses tool-less sliding rails for quick rack installation and the PERC H730 RAID controller arrives with firmware already updated. Drive caddies are not included, so you must supply compatible 3.5-inch SATA or SAS trays before the array can be configured. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote deployment without a local console.

768GB Maximum Memory Capacity

The system supports up to 768GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 256GB leaves ample headroom for future expansion. Buyers who need more than 768GB of RAM cannot use this platform.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller is working after setup?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface, navigate to the storage section, and verify the controller shows optimal status with all eight 3.5-inch bays detected and no firmware alerts.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs, 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, dual 495 W power supplies, PERC H730 SAS controller, and Intel I350/X540 2x 10 GbE + 2x 1 GbE network card; drives and rail kit are not included.

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 768 GB maximum?

The installed 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory suits most virtualization workloads; add matching DDR4 modules later if your applications need more than 256 GB up to the 768 GB limit.
