Dual 12-core Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.5 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory supports virtualisation, databases and high-performance computing.

Virtualisation and database focus

This system suits teams running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms or virtual desktop infrastructure that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform.

H730 controller with eight 2.4 TB SAS drives

The PERC H730 1 GB controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. This storage configuration decides whether the server fits capacity and redundancy needs for the target workload.

Questions about this item

Which DDR4 memory speed and form factor must already be present to reach the installed 256 GB capacity?

The system uses DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC DIMMs; the 256 GB configuration occupies eight of the 24 slots with 32 GB modules.

Will the PERC H730 controller and SAS backplane accept the SATA SSDs I already own?

Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives, so existing 2.5" SATA SSDs can be installed in the eight hot-swap bays.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs and 256 GB RAM are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will display two 12-core processors at 2.5 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 memory.
