Target Workloads

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 data nodes. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots supports heavy virtualization and in-memory tasks.

Fit And Gaps

Teams needing dense compute with integrated 10 GbE and 1 GbE connectivity, hardware RAID across eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays and remote management via iDRAC 8 Enterprise will find the platform ready to deploy. Buyers who require more than two sockets, memory beyond 1.5 TB, or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative chassis.

Storage Controller Decides

The PERC H730 1 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache and full RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through modes. This single component determines whether the server can meet your performance, redundancy and drive-count requirements.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC DIMMs work alongside the 16x 32 GB modules already installed?

Yes, the server has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total, so your registered ECC modules can fill the remaining eight slots.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller is managing RAID 5 correctly after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or log into iDRAC8 Enterprise; both show virtual-disk state, rebuild progress and battery health for the 1 GB cache.

Which items ship with the chassis and which must I purchase separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, two Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, bezel and rails; no 2.5" drives are included.
