Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 14 cores, delivering 28 threads in total. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache supporting multiple RAID levels.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Nodes

The configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms, or high-performance computing data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports plus iDRAC 8 Enterprise management support dense, remotely administered deployments. Buyers who require more than two processors or need storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

8-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis with Hot-Swap Power

The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with two 400 GB SATA SSDs and dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies. Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

What rack rails and bezel are included so I can mount the R730 in my cabinet?

The system ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard rack installation.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage the existing 400GB SATA SSDs together with larger SATA drives I might add later?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through on its 12Gb/s SAS and SATA ports, so additional SATA drives can be added to the same arrays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

The iDRAC8 Enterprise module provides a dedicated network port; once the server posts, its IP address appears on the front-panel LCD or can be discovered via DHCP for browser-based access.
