Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 processors at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730 SAS controller. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come as standard.
Ideal for dense storage workloads
This configuration suits buyers who need up to eight large-capacity SATA drives behind a hardware RAID controller and 384GB of registered DDR4 for virtualisation or database tasks. Builders who require more than 768GB of memory, more than two CPUs, or dedicated GPU compute should look at a different platform.
384GB DDR4 installed with room to 768GB
The single specification that decides fit is the 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed, expandable to 768GB across the available slots. Verify your application's memory ceiling against this limit before ordering.

Questions about this item
Does the PERC H730 RAID controller require DDR4 ECC registered memory to function?
No, the PERC H730 controller operates independently of the system memory; the 384GB DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs serve the two Xeon E5-2660v3 processors, not the RAID card.
Can the existing Intel I350/X540 2×10GbE + 2×1GbE network card share a PCIe slot with an older PCIe 2.0 HBA?
The installed network card uses PCIe 3.0 lanes; an older PCIe 2.0 HBA will negotiate down to 2.0 speeds in an adjacent slot without preventing the 10GbE ports from operating at their rated throughput.
How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence is active after first boot?
Open a browser to the iDRAC IP shown on the front LCD, log in with the default credentials, and verify the licence page reads "Enterprise" with a valid expiry date.
