Rack server with 8 LFF bays
This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 495W power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management and an Intel network card providing two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and ships with firmware fully updated.
Suited for memory-heavy workloads
The 384GB installed memory and dual-socket design make this server suitable for virtualisation hosts, database caching layers or compute clusters that benefit from large RAM capacity per node. Buyers who require more than 768GB maximum memory or need a different drive interface than the SAS/SATA backplane provides should evaluate alternative platforms.
Maximum memory ceiling 768GB
The platform supports up to 768GB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the current 384GB configuration leaves room for future expansion. This limit determines whether the system can accommodate planned workload growth without a platform change.

Questions about this item
What rack depth is required for the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis?
The chassis measures 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus clearance for cables and airflow.
How are the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and 384GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are already seated in the two sockets and the 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered modules populate the DIMM slots; the step often missed is verifying the memory configuration matches the CPU channel layout after any changes.
Which components will need replacement when the PERC H730 controller or the 2x 495W power supplies reach end of life?
The PERC H730 RAID controller and the two 495W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; the iDRAC8 enterprise license stays with the system board.
