PowerEdge R730 dual Xeon server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides eight cores for a total of sixteen cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache manages the two installed 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation and database workloads

The high core count and large memory capacity suit virtualisation hosts, database servers and high-performance computing nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports handles heavy east-west traffic. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors or more than 1.5 TB of RAM should look at a larger platform.

24 DDR4 slots and 1.5 TB maximum memory

The motherboard provides twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB total capacity. Sixteen slots are already populated with 32 GB modules leaving eight slots available for expansion. Memory must be DDR4 registered ECC to match the installed configuration.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the PowerEdge R730 require for mounting?

The server is a 2U rack unit and ships with Ready Rails included for standard four-post rack installation.

How are the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 512 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011-3 sockets; the 512 GB DDR4 is populated across 16 DIMM slots — verify each module clicks fully into its slot to avoid boot failures.

Which components in this R730 are hot-swappable and may need replacement during its service life?

The two 750 W power supplies, the two 400 GB SATA SSDs, and the PERC H730 controller battery are all hot-swappable and designed for field replacement.
