Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance computing nodes. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, each six cores at 2.4 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The platform supports up to two CPUs and 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots.

Storage and networking bundle

The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through for up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full remote management, while dual 750 W platinum supplies and sliding rails complete the deployment kit.

Memory capacity ceiling

The installed 256 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory occupies eight of the 24 DIMM slots, leaving headroom to reach the 1.5 TB maximum. Buyers who need more memory than the board can address should look elsewhere, as the chipset hard-limits total capacity.

Questions about this item

How much more DDR4 registered ECC memory can I add to the 24 slots later?

The system ships with 256GB across 8 modules; the remaining slots support expansion up to the 1.5TB maximum capacity.

What limits storage throughput first when all eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with SAS drives?

The PERC H730 controller provides 12Gb/s SAS connectivity, so the drive media and RAID level will determine the ceiling.

What is the typical power draw of the two 750W Platinum supplies under continuous load?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts with Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on the installed drives, CPUs and memory configuration.
