Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits virtualisation hosts

The dual 14-core CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 give strong multi-threaded throughput for hypervisors, databases or backup targets. Eight 3.5-inch bays allow high-capacity SATA or SAS arrays behind the hardware RAID controller. Not suited for buyers who need drives included, more than two sockets or a compact tower form factor. Maximum memory reaches 768 GB if the workload grows later.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage ceiling

The 8LFF chassis limits internal storage to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives connected to the PERC H730 controller. No drives are installed, so the buyer must populate bays to match capacity and redundancy goals. This bay count is the single constraint that decides whether the server fits the planned dataset size.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 3.5" drives into the 8-bay chassis and what step is often missed?

The chassis supports 8 large-form-factor bays; populate all eight before adding the second PERC H730 controller, otherwise the extra drives will not be visible to the RAID BIOS.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?

The two 495 W power supplies and the system fans are the only field-replaceable units rated for hot-swap; plan to swap a supply after several years of continuous load.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz under sustained load?

The 495 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; combined processor draw can approach the supply rating before the cooling capacity is exceeded.
