Dell PowerEdge R730 8LFF Server
This 2U rack server ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor running at 1.9GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It is built for businesses that need a dense 3.5-inch drive platform for virtualisation, database or file workloads. The chassis supports a second CPU for future expansion.
Capacity and headroom
Memory can grow from 256GB up to 768GB across 24 DIMM slots, giving ample room for larger working sets. Eight 3.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS drives through the PERC H730 controller, while the single installed processor leaves half the CPU sockets open. Storage is not included, so capacity starts at zero until drives are added.
Build quality and daily implications
Dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote management without a local console. Four onboard network ports — two 10GbE and two 1GbE — handle separate traffic lanes for applications, storage and management. Rail kits are available on request for standard rack mounting.
