Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors running at 2.3GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing workloads.
Check your rack depth
The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so verify that your cabinet can accommodate the depth and weight. Two 495W power supplies are installed; confirm your PDU connectors and available circuits match the server's dual-PSU design.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID
The 8LFF front panel accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives managed by the integrated PERC H730 controller with RAID support. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management over a separate network port for out-of-band monitoring and control.
