Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide high-speed storage managed by a PERC H730 controller with battery-backed cache.

Suited for virtualization and database nodes

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing data nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links supports demanding traffic patterns. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, memory beyond 1.5 TB or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms. The 24 DIMM slots allow future expansion up to the supported maximum.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 1 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for flexible drive configurations. This controller determines the storage performance and redundancy options available for the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10Gb ports on the X520/I350 card?

Yes, the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports, so you must provide compatible SFP+ modules and fibre or copper cables for those links.

Can I keep my existing SATA SSDs and add them to the PERC H730 alongside the installed 800GB drives?

The PERC H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so additional SATA SSDs can be added to the remaining 2.5" bays and configured in the same or separate virtual disks.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC8 firmware version and licence status appear on screen; you can also log into the iDRAC web interface over its dedicated management port to verify Enterprise features are enabled.
