Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server
This Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server arrives new with one Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processor running at 3.4GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8LFF chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives through the installed PERC H730 RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise license, and dual 495W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.
Suits Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Workloads
This configuration suits administrators building a virtualisation host or database server that needs large memory capacity and internal storage density. The single six-core processor and integrated graphics make it unsuitable for GPU-accelerated workloads, high-frequency trading, or render farms that require multiple high-clock CPUs or discrete compute cards. Buyers who need more than one processor should note the board supports a second CPU.
Memory Ceiling Decides Longevity
The system accepts up to 768GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 256GB leaves headroom for future growth. If your application roadmap expects memory demand beyond that ceiling, this platform cannot accommodate it and a newer generation would be required.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.4 GHz Xeon E5-2643 v3 work with my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules if I expand beyond the installed 256 GB?
Yes, the system accepts DDR4 ECC registered memory up to a total of 768 GB, so your current modules can be added to the 256 GB already installed.
How can I verify the PERC H730 SAS controller and both 495 W power supplies are functioning after installation?
Use the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface to check controller status, drive detection and power-supply health; the BIOS POST will also report each supply as operational.
The listing says no drives are included — which drive type and caddies must I purchase for the eight 3.5-inch bays?
Buy 3.5-inch SATA drives and Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies; the chassis provides eight bays and the PERC H730 connects via SAS backplane.
