Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay rack server
This server is a 2U rack-mounted system built for workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz, each providing 16 cores, and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory
Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should consider other platforms. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provides full out-of-band management for remote administration. Network connectivity includes two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports via Intel I350/X540 adapters.
512GB DDR4 ECC memory installed
The system holds 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 768GB. No drives are installed; the eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives through the PERC H730 controller. Dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5" drive bays accept my existing SATA HDDs alongside the PERC H730 controller?
The chassis provides eight 3.5" bays with SATA backplane connectivity, and the PERC H730 SAS controller manages both SAS and SATA drives in any mix.
How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2698 v3 CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Enterprise interface; both will show two 16-core processors at 2.3 GHz and the full 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory.
Does the box include drive caddies, rail kit or any drives, or must I source them separately?
The server ships with two 495 W power supplies, the PERC H730 RAID controller and 2×10 GbE + 2×1 GbE networking; drives, caddies and rails are not included.
