Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server with eight 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors run at 2.5GHz with 12 cores each and 30MB cache. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high core counts

This server fits workloads that benefit from 24 total threads and large memory capacity up to 768GB. The eight-bay chassis supports SAS and SATA drives for flexible storage arrays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-threaded frequency above 2.5GHz, or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere. The integrated graphics limit display output to basic console use.

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The installed memory uses DDR4 ECC registered modules across the available DIMM slots. Capacity can be expanded to 768GB maximum with compatible modules. Memory speed and rank configuration follow the processor memory controller specifications. Verified compatibility is essential when adding modules to the existing configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the R730 8LFF chassis accept my existing 3.5" SATA drives?

Yes — the chassis provides eight 3.5" bays wired to the PERC H730 SAS controller, which also supports SATA drives.

How can I confirm both Xeon E5-2680 v3 CPUs and the 256 GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 12-core processors at 2.5 GHz and 256 GB of registered ECC DDR4.

Does the server ship with drive caddies and rails, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes two 495 W power supplies, the PERC H730 RAID card and the Intel I350/X540 10/1 GbE network card; drive caddies and rail kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
