Dell PowerEdge R730 8-Bay Server
This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon processor and 256 GB 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. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory
The system fits environments that run multiple virtual machines or containers and benefit from the installed 256 GB DDR4 capacity with room to grow to 768 GB. Buyers who require a second processor, pre-installed drives, or GPU acceleration should look at other configurations because this unit ships with one CPU, no drives, and integrated graphics only.
Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID
The defining specification is the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 SAS controller, which determines how many drives you can install and what RAID levels are available. If your deployment needs more bays, 2.5-inch form factors, or a different controller, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item
Will the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis fit in a standard 42U rack with 600 mm depth?
The unit measures 36 inches deep by 24 inches wide by 10 inches high and weighs 40 lb; verify your rack depth and weight rating before mounting.
How do I install the PERC H730 RAID controller and the step people miss?
Seat the PERC H730 in the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then enable the controller in BIOS before creating any virtual disks.
When should I replace the 495 W power supplies in this R730?
Run both 495 W supplies in redundant mode; replace a unit immediately if iDRAC8 reports a fault LED or the system logs a power-supply critical event.
