Dual 18-core Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The platform includes 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. The dual-processor design and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation and in-memory databases. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU acceleration or a different storage interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory occupies all 24 slots and can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 TB. This single figure determines whether the server can hold the working set for your virtual machines or database instances without swapping. Verify your application's memory footprint against this capacity before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Can the R730 share the same 2.5-inch SATA drive bays with older 2.5-inch SAS drives we already own?

Yes, the eight 2.5-inch bays accept both SATA and SAS drives through the PERC H730 controller, so existing SAS drives can be installed alongside the two 400GB SATA SSDs.

How can I confirm the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and all 768GB of DDR4 ECC memory are detected and healthy after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise web interface or watch the POST screen; both will list each 18-core CPU at 2.3GHz and show all 24 DIMM slots populated with 32GB modules running at 2133MHz.

Which items ship with the server and which must be purchased separately to get it running?

The box includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 750W platinum PSUs, the PERC H730 controller with battery, the X520/I350 quad-port network card, two 400GB SATA SSDs, both CPUs and all 768GB DDR4 memory; only an operating system licence and any extra drives you want must be added.
