DELL PowerEdge R730 8LFF 2x Xeon E5-2690 v3 384GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz, providing 24 cores and 30MB cache per CPU. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts needing high memory

The 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory suits dense virtualisation, database caching and in-memory analytics. Two processor sockets are already populated at the maximum of two, so the platform cannot accept additional CPUs. Buyers who require more than 768GB total memory or more than two sockets should consider a different platform. The integrated graphics and dual 495W power supplies support standard rack deployment without GPU acceleration.

Maximum memory capacity of 768GB DDR4

The server currently holds 384GB across its DIMM slots and can be expanded to 768GB using compatible DDR4 registered modules. This ceiling determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset can reside in memory. No drive is included; the eight-bay backplane accepts SATA or SAS drives through the PERC H730 controller. Select memory and storage to match the 768GB limit when configuring the system.
