Built for heavy enterprise workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. It targets midsize and large organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing or high-performance computing nodes.

Dense 2.5-inch bay layout with quad-port networking

Eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supporting SAS and SATA with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are installed. A quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. ReadyRails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting.

Dual 750 W platinum supplies handle peak power

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load from both CPUs, memory, storage and networking. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow tuned for rack density. Under typical enterprise workloads the cooling system maintains stable temperatures while the platinum units keep power draw efficient. The 1.5 TB maximum memory headroom allows future expansion without changing the power infrastructure.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller support, and how does that limit the installed drives?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gb/s SAS controller, so the two 300GB 10K SAS drives run at their full 12Gb/s interface speed.

What rack depth and rail kit are required to mount this 2U server?

The server includes Dell Ready Rails sliding rails, which mount in standard 4-post racks with adjustable depth; verify your rack depth range matches the rail specification.

How are the two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors installed, and what common step is missed?

Both LGA 2011-3 sockets are populated; the critical step often missed is applying thermal paste and torquing the heatsink retention screws in the correct diagonal sequence.
