DELL PowerEdge R730 8SFF Xeon E5-2699 v4 2.2GHz 22C 384GB DDR4 No Drive

Single-socket R730 for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis with one Xeon E5-2699 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz across 22 cores and 55 MB cache. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. No drives are installed, leaving all bays open for SATA or SAS media. Dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits memory-heavy virtualisation or database nodes

This configuration fits workloads that need high core counts and large DDR4 capacity in a 2U rack footprint. Buyers who want a second processor installed from the factory or who require more than eight front-accessible drive bays should consider other chassis options. The single CPU limits maximum memory to 768 GB and leaves one socket empty for later expansion.

One Xeon E5-2699 v4 decides the ceiling

The single 22-core processor sets the thread count, memory-channel population and PCIe lane budget for the entire server. Adding a second compatible CPU later doubles those resources, but the system ships with only one socket populated.
