  • Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap design keep the server running during maintenance

Enterprise Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors deliver 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability for demanding multi-threaded workloads.

Memory and Connectivity

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to expand to 1.5 TB. A PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through on the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and compatible mounting rails for the included hardware. Confirm that your network infrastructure can terminate SFP+ links for the 10 GbE ports and that your storage plan accounts for the two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives already installed. Ensure the operating environment meets the server's power and cooling requirements for dual 750 W supplies.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller run at, and what does that cap?

The PERC H730 runs at 12Gb/s SAS, which caps the maximum throughput of the installed 300GB 10K drives and any SAS or SATA drives you add.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack unit that fits a standard 4-post rack; Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for slide-in mounting.

How is the 768GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

The 768GB fills all 24 slots with 24 × 32GB DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC DIMMs; the step often missed is populating every slot evenly across both CPUs for full bandwidth.
