DELL PowerEdge R730 rack server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 128GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

SKU CH-NX9T-4XEKZ

2U rack server with dual 6-core Xeon CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730 RAID controller and two 800 GB SATA SSDs

  • ProcessorIntel Xeon
  • Installed RAM128 GB
  • Video RAM8 MB
  • Installed SSD2 × 800 GB SATA SSD
  • ChipsetIntel C610
  • Processor core count6-Core Processor
  • Dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz Turbo for demanding workloads
  • 128 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots for large datasets
  • PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through
  • Two 800 GB SATA SSDs provide fast storage for databases and virtualisation
  • Quad-port networking with 2x 1 GbE and 2x 10 Gb SFP+ for flexible connectivity

Built for virtualisation and database nodes

This 2U rack server ships with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, providing 12 cores for multi-threaded workloads. 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2133 memory supports dense virtual machine or container deployments. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays keep the platform available during maintenance.

Suits teams running VDI.

The eight 2.5-inch bays populated with two 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730 RAID controller cover RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles east-west traffic. Organisations needing more than 24 DIMM slots, GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity will need a different chassis.

24 DDR4 slots and 1.5 TB maximum memory define

The C610 chipset and LGA 2011-3 sockets limit upgrades to the installed processor generation. Buyers planning memory growth beyond 128 GB should verify module compatibility before purchase. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides out-of-band management for remote firmware updates and hardware monitoring.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server into a standard rack and which step is most often missed?

Mount the included ReadyRails into a 2U space, slide the chassis onto the rails until it locks, then secure the front bezel; the step most often missed is engaging the rail latch before pushing the server fully home.

What maintenance or replacement will the storage controller and memory need later?

The PERC H730 1GB controller carries a backup battery that typically requires replacement after several years; the 128GB DDR4 ECC memory uses 24 slots and can be expanded up to 1.5TB with registered modules.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy workload?

The dual 750W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; thermal throttling of the 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs will engage before the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller saturates.
