Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller plus integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management.
Suits virtualisation hosts
This configuration suits virtualisation hosts and memory-heavy databases that benefit from 24 total cores and a large DDR4 footprint. Buyers who need higher single-thread clock speeds or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform. The installed 495W power supplies and dual 10GbE plus 1GbE network card support typical rack deployments.
384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory
The single specification that decides fit is the 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, expandable to 768GB across 24 DIMM slots. This capacity determines whether the server can hold the working set for your workload without swapping. All firmware is updated to the latest stable version before shipment.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum memory capacity the PERC H730 controller can address?
The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the attached drives, while the system board supports up to 768GB of DDR4 memory.
What physical space does the 8LFF chassis occupy in a rack?
The unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and fits a standard 2U rack opening.
How are the 384GB of DDR4 memory installed, and what is the common mistake?
384GB of DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs are pre-installed across the 24 slots; the error is mixing RDIMM and LRDIMM types.
