Built for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing data nodes.

Sustained Operation with Redundant Power and Cooling

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous uptime. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, maintaining write performance during extended rebuilds. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card, while iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote management without host OS dependency.

Verify Rack Depth and Drive Selection Before

The chassis accepts eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays but ships without drives; confirm capacity and endurance ratings for your workload. Memory expansion reaches 1.5 TB across 24 slots, so check existing DIMM population if you plan to add modules. Ensure your rack provides sufficient depth for the 2U form factor with ready rails installed, and that SFP+ transceivers match your switch optics.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise should I expect from the dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPUs and twin 750 W platinum power supplies running 24/7?

The system ships with two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant cooling designed for continuous operation in a 2U rack.

What drives and cabling do I need to add before the PERC H730 controller can present storage to the OS?

Eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays are included; you must supply the drives themselves and any SAS or SATA cables required by your backplane.

Will my existing DDR4-2133 registered ECC DIMMs work alongside the 256 GB already installed?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 1.5 TB; populate remaining slots with matching registered ECC modules at 2133 MHz for full compatibility.
