Dual Xeon Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with ten cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 1 GB controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support for the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays.

Suited for dense compute and memory workloads

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing nodes. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity handle heavily threaded applications and virtualisation hosts. Buyers who require more than two processors or memory beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate other platforms.

Maximum memory capacity of 1.5 TB

The system board offers twenty-four DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory. With 512 GB already installed, there is headroom for future expansion within the same chassis. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with workload demands without a platform change.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller initialises and displays its firmware version; the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard then shows battery health, RAID status and drive enumeration for all 8 bays.

Which drive trays and cabling are included, and what must I add to populate the 8 bays?

The server ships with 8 Dell 2.5" SAS/SATA trays, the H730 mini controller with 1GB cache and battery, plus two 750 W power supplies; you supply the SAS or SATA drives.

The system has 512 GB DDR4 — how do I decide whether to expand toward the 1.5 TB maximum?

16 of the 24 DIMM slots are filled with 32 GB modules at 2133 MHz; add matching registered ECC DDR4 in the 8 free slots to reach the 1.5 TB limit.
