2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Processors

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads such as virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity in a standard 2U form factor with redundant 750 W power supplies and quad-port networking including two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management. Buyers who require more than two installed processors, more than 24 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

256 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory Installed

The server arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory populated in eight of the 24 available slots, leaving room to expand up to the 1.5 TB maximum. Memory type and rank must match DDR4 registered ECC specifications for compatibility. Verify your application’s memory footprint against the installed capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

What storage controller interface does the PERC H730 use and what speed does it cap at?

The Dell PERC H730 1GB controller runs on a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA interface and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache.

What rails and rack spacing does the R730 need to mount?

Dell Ready Rails are included and the chassis occupies 2U of height in a standard rack enclosure.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors are pre-installed in the LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 256GB of DDR4 2133MHz Registered ECC memory fills 8 of the 24 DIMM slots and must be populated in the correct channel order for full performance.
