Dual Xeon 3.2GHz Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2667v3 processors running at 3.2GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays. The system includes dual 495W power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 network card providing two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.
768GB Memory Ceiling
The platform supports a maximum of 768GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, leaving headroom for triple the installed capacity. This upgrade path is relevant for virtualisation hosts or in-memory databases that outgrow the factory 256GB configuration. The dual-socket design is already fully populated, so CPU expansion is not possible; only memory and storage can scale further. Buyers who need more than two sockets should evaluate alternative chassis.
Eight-Bay Storage Flexibility
Eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives in any RAID arrangement supported by the H730 controller. The server ships without drives, so capacity and redundancy are defined entirely by the disks you add. The integrated GPU provides basic console output only; workloads requiring GPU compute or hardware transcoding need a different platform. The 10GbE ports suit iSCSI or NFS traffic, while the 1GbE pair handles management.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis need?
The server measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so it requires a rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth and a 24-inch wide opening.
What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2667v3 processors and the 256GB DDR4 memory?
Install both processors into the two sockets first, then populate the DDR4 DIMM slots following the per-socket channel order shown in the system service manual.
When should the 495W power supplies or the PERC H730 RAID controller be replaced?
Replace a 495W power supply if its status LED shows a fault or the iDRAC8 logs a power-supply error; replace the PERC H730 if the controller fails POST or reports a persistent cache-battery fault.
