Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. This configuration targets businesses that need dense local storage and high core counts for virtualisation or database workloads.
Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays simplify
The chassis supports tool-less slide rails and hot-swap drive carriers, so drives can be added without powering down. The PERC H730 controller handles RAID initialisation automatically, but a missing or mismatched backplane cable is the most common reason arrays fail to appear during first boot.
Dual 495 W supplies and efficient airflow sustain
Two redundant 495 W power supplies and a directed-airflow design keep both 14-core CPUs at full turbo during prolonged compute tasks. The iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provides continuous thermal monitoring and remote power cycling if a node hangs under sustained pressure.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2680v4 processors are detected and running at 2.4GHz after installation?
Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface on boot; both will display two CPUs at 2.4GHz with 14 cores each and 35MB cache per processor.
What components ship with the R730 8LFF and which items such as drives or rails must be ordered separately?
The chassis includes 2x 495W power supplies, PERC H730 SAS controller, Intel I350/X540 2x 10GbE + 2x 1GbE network card, 512GB DDR4 ECC RAM and iDRAC8 Enterprise; 3.5" drives and rail kit are not included.
Should I choose the current 512GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 768GB maximum for my workload?
The system holds 512GB DDR4 ECC registered today and supports up to 768GB total; select 512GB if current usage fits, or add modules later to reach the 768GB ceiling.
