Targeted deployment
This Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server arrives new with dual Xeon E5-2680v4 processors at 2.4GHz, 768GB of DDR4 memory and an eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages SATA drives while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote administration. Integrated graphics and dual 495W supplies complete the 2U platform.
Fit and alternatives
Organisations needing dense compute and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor will match this configuration. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or a different drive form factor should evaluate other chassis options. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration are not served by the integrated graphics subsystem.
Deciding specification
The installed 768GB DDR4 reaches the system maximum, so no further memory expansion is possible. This fixed capacity determines whether the server suits your dataset size or if a platform with higher memory ceilings is required.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own 3.5" SATA or SAS drives for the eight drive bays?
Yes, the eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives; the PERC H730 controller manages both, but no drives are included with the server.
Will my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules work with the 768 GB already installed?
The server is already at its 768 GB maximum, so additional modules cannot be added; the installed DDR4 ECC registered memory fills every slot.
How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2680v4 CPUs and 768 GB RAM are recognised after power-on?
Check the iDRAC8 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS POST screen; both will list two 14-core processors at 2.4 GHz and show 768 GB of DDR4 memory.
