Dual Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with fourteen cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum. The chassis supports eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.

Verify Power and Network Needs

This unit includes two 495 W power supplies for redundant operation; confirm your rack PDU can deliver the required current on the available connectors. Networking is provided by an Intel I350/X540 card offering two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports, so check that your switch ports and cabling match those speeds. Storage drives are not installed; plan to procure compatible SATA or SAS drives for the eight-bay backplane.

Thermals and Acoustics

Dual-processor configurations with full memory population generate significant heat; the R730 uses redundant fans that ramp up under load, producing noticeable noise in quiet office environments. Ensure your rack provides adequate front-to-rear airflow and that inlet temperatures stay within ASHRAE guidelines. The 495 W supplies draw proportionally to total system load, so plan circuit capacity for peak utilisation.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drives or do I need to buy them separately?

No drives are installed; the 8 LFF bays accept 3.5 inch SATA drives that you must add yourself.

The spec shows 768 GB DDR4 — is that the maximum the board can take?

Yes, 768 GB is both the installed amount and the listed maximum capacity.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the PERC H730 controller with SATA drives?

The H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the 8 bays; actual speed depends on the SATA drives you install.
