DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF 1x Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 384GB DDR4 No Drive Server

8-Bay Rack Server with Xeon E5-2643 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processor running at 3.4 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It uses a PERC H730 SAS controller and provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays for SATA or SAS storage. The system ships without drives and includes dual 495 W power supplies.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads.

This configuration targets applications that benefit from large memory capacity such as virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or compute nodes with modest thread requirements. The single six-core processor limits parallel throughput, so buyers who need many cores per socket or a second CPU installed should look at a different configuration.

Verify rack depth, power and drive cabling

Confirm that your rack can accommodate the 36-inch depth and that 10 A circuits are available for the redundant supplies. The PERC H730 uses internal SAS connectors, so ensure you have compatible backplane cables or a drive tray kit. Network uplinks use 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports on an Intel I350/X540 card.
