Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server
This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processors at 2.4 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID storage arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise with full firmware already applied.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory
The 768 GB maximum memory is fully populated, making this system appropriate for virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases that demand high RAM capacity per node. Buyers who need more storage bays than the eight 3.5-inch slots or who require GPU acceleration for compute workloads should consider a different platform.
Dual Xeon E5-2640 v4 with 10 cores each
Each processor delivers ten cores and 25 MB cache, providing twenty cores total for multi-threaded workloads. The installed memory reaches the board maximum of 768 GB DDR4, so no further RAM upgrades are possible. The PERC H730 controller supports SAS and SATA drives in the eight available bays.

Questions about this item
What rack depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?
The unit is 36 in deep, so a standard 42 U rack with at least 36 in of usable depth and front-to-rear clearance for cable management will accommodate it.
What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon E5-2640 v4 processors and their heatsinks?
Install the first processor and heatsink, then the second processor and heatsink, tightening each retention bracket in a cross pattern before connecting any power cables.
When should the 495 W redundant power supplies be replaced?
Replace a supply if the iDRAC8 Enterprise console reports a critical power-supply fault, the amber LED stays lit after reseating, or the unit fails its self-test during POST.
