Dual 12-Core Xeon Rack Server

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 includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs provide internal storage managed by a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache.

Virtualisation Hosts And Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running databases or hosting virtual desktop infrastructure. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces other than SATA and SAS should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 RAID Controller With Battery

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight data during power loss, making it the decisive component for workloads that require hardware RAID redundancy.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 controller is managing the 8x 800GB SSDs correctly after setup?

Open the PERC H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to confirm the virtual disk shows optimal status, all eight drives are online, and the 1GB cache battery reports healthy.

What components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 in eight 32GB modules, eight 800GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; OS licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Should I choose the 256GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 1.5TB maximum?

The installed 256GB uses eight of 24 slots at 2133MHz; add registered ECC DDR4 modules in matched sets if workloads need more capacity, otherwise the factory configuration is ready to run.
