Dual-socket 2U rack server

This new Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6 GHz 8-core processors, 128 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory, a PERC H730 1 GB SAS/SATA RAID controller, and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in a 2U chassis with redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, quad-port 1/10 GbE networking, rails and bezel.

Virtualisation hosts, database nodes or VDI clusters

IT teams running memory-intensive virtual machines, database workloads or virtual desktop infrastructure will find the 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB DDR4 and the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane well matched. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU compute density, or all-flash arrays should evaluate alternative platforms.

1.5 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The server’s Intel C610 chipset and 24 memory slots enable expansion from the installed 128 GB to a ceiling of 1.5 TB DDR4 registered ECC, making total memory headroom the key figure when sizing this platform for consolidation or in-memory workloads.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware comes with the R730 so I can install it in my cabinet?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for rack mounting.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise the 2.4TB SAS drives already installed?

Yes, the H730 1GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and manages the eight 2.4TB drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is active after power-on?

Connect to the iDRAC network port, log in via its web interface and verify the system inventory shows both Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 memory.
