Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon E5-2697 v4 processors running at 2.3 GHz. Each CPU provides 18 cores and 45 MB of cache for a total of 36 cores across the system. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller.
Verify rack space, power and network needs
Confirm that your rack can accommodate a unit measuring 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighing 40 pounds. The server includes two 495 W power supplies, so ensure your PDU circuits and cabling can deliver the required load. Network connectivity uses an Intel I350/X540 card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports; check that your switch ports and cabling match these interfaces. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise, which requires a dedicated management network connection.
Build quality and daily implications
The 2U rackmount chassis is built for continuous data-centre operation with redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive carriers accessible from the front. Front-accessible bays allow drive replacement without removing the server from the rack. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS and SATA drives through a standard backplane, simplifying storage maintenance. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables out-of-band monitoring, power control and virtual console access over the network, reducing the need for physical console access during routine administration.

Questions about this item
Does the server ship with any drives or do I need to purchase 3.5" SAS/SATA drives separately?
The 8-bay chassis arrives with zero drives installed; you must supply up to eight 3.5" SAS or SATA drives for the PERC H730 controller.
Which processor configuration is installed and how many cores does it provide?
Two Xeon E5-2697 v4 CPUs at 2.3 GHz are fitted, each with 18 cores for a total of 36 physical cores.
The system lists 768 GB DDR4 — is that the maximum the board will accept?
Yes, 768 GB is the full memory capacity supported by this motherboard, so no further expansion is possible.
