Dual-socket 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers 44 total cores from two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.20 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB maximum capacity. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The dual 22-core CPUs and large memory footprint suit heavily threaded applications, virtual desktop infrastructure and database nodes that benefit from high core counts and memory bandwidth. The quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles storage and migration traffic. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or require a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 storage controller

The installed H730 mini controller with battery-backed cache determines which RAID levels are available and whether the eight drive bays can support the desired redundancy and performance profile. It connects to the backplane through 12 Gb/s SAS lanes and manages both SAS and SATA drives without additional cabling.

Questions about this item

What drive trays and interface does the R730 include for local storage?

The server ships with eight 2.5" SAS/SATA drive trays and a PERC H730 controller that supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. No drives are installed.

Will my existing SATA or SAS drives work in the 2.5" bays of this R730?

Yes, the eight front bays accept both 2.5" SATA and SAS drives, and the H730 controller manages them through the same backplane.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs and 768 GB of DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS POST screen; both will show two 22-core processors at 2.2 GHz and 24 x 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz modules.
