2U Rack Server with Dual 18-Core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores. The platform includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration fits environments running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing tasks. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, more than 24 DIMM slots or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID Controller with 1 GB Cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 controller manages the two 400 GB SATA SSDs and any additional drives across the eight 2.5-inch bays. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller choice determines the RAID options and drive connectivity available in the chassis.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 2U PowerEdge R730 require?

The included Ready Rails mount in standard EIA racks with adjustable depth; verify your cabinet depth before installation.

Which step is often missed when installing the 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors and 512GB DDR4 memory?

Populate all 24 DIMM slots in the correct channel order and apply the required thermal grease pattern before seating the heatsinks.

When should the PERC H730 controller battery and the 400GB SSDs be replaced?

Replace the controller battery every 3 to 5 years; monitor SSD wear via iDRAC and swap drives when remaining endurance drops below 20%.
