DELL PowerEdge R730 rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 2.4GHz 14-core 512GB DDR4

Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory populated across 16 modules. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Ideal for virtualisation and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse workloads or high-performance computing clusters that benefit from 28 total cores and a large memory footprint. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, GPU-accelerated compute or a different drive bay count should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory

The installed 512 GB kit uses 16 x 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs, leaving eight of the 24 slots free for expansion up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Memory type and speed are fixed by the processor memory controller, so any additions must match DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC specifications. Confirm slot availability and population rules before ordering extra modules.
