Dual-socket rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and includes a PERC H730 storage controller with battery-backed cache. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports are factory installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the configuration.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads

This system fits midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24 DIMM slots support up to 1.5 TB of DDR4, allowing significant memory expansion. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 2U height and 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis also limit internal storage density compared to larger form factors.

Maximum DDR4 capacity of 1.5 TB across 24 slots

The installed 768 GB uses all 24 slots with 32 GB modules at 2133 MHz. Expanding beyond this point requires replacing existing modules because no free slots remain. The Intel C610 chipset and LGA 2011-3 sockets define the processor ceiling at two CPUs. Verify that your workload fits within the 1.5 TB memory limit and the dual-socket architecture before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included with this 2U server?

The unit ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.

Which step is often missed when installing the PERC H730 storage controller?

The H730 mini controller includes a battery-backed cache module that must be seated in its dedicated connector before the server is powered on.

What memory modules will be needed to reach the 1.5TB maximum capacity?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots populated with 24×32GB registered ECC DIMMs; reaching the 1.5TB limit requires replacing them with higher-capacity DDR4 registered ECC modules.
