Dual Xeon server for memory-intensive workloads

The PowerEdge R730 ships with two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 22 cores and 55 MB of cache. With 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and a maximum capacity of 768 GB, the platform suits virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases and compute clusters that demand high core counts and large memory footprints. No drives are included, so storage can be tailored to the application.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730 RAID

The 8-bay large-form-factor chassis accepts SATA drives connected to the integrated PERC H730 SAS controller, which supports hardware RAID levels for redundancy or performance. Networking is handled by an Intel I350/X540 card delivering two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports, while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides dedicated out-of-band management for remote firmware updates, console access and health monitoring. Dual 495 W power supplies offer redundancy for continuous operation.

Redundant cooling and power in a 2U rack form

The 2U rack-mount enclosure uses redundant fans and dual 495 W supplies to maintain stable thermals under sustained multi-core load. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release before shipment, and each unit undergoes a full burn-in test to verify thermal behaviour and component reliability. The system weighs 40 lb and measures 36 x 24 x 10 in, fitting standard four-post racks with optional rail kits.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller is fitted, and what throughput does it cap at in practice?

The PERC H730 RAID controller handles SAS and SATA drives and is limited by the 12 Gb/s SAS interface speed.

What clearance and rail kit does the 3.5-inch chassis need to mount in a standard rack?

The 36 x 24 x 10 inch 2U chassis requires a compatible Dell rail kit, available on request, for secure rack mounting.

How is the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence activated, and what step is often missed?

Access the iDRAC web interface, enter the licence key under the licensing section, then apply; a reboot is required to activate the Enterprise features.
