Rack Server with 8-Bay Chassis
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that demand high memory capacity and flexible 3.5-inch storage. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processor running at 2.6 GHz across 14 cores and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The system supports a second CPU for expanded compute when workloads grow.
256 GB DDR4 Memory Installed
The installed 256 GB of DDR4 memory fills a substantial portion of the 768 GB maximum capacity, making this configuration suited to virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or large-scale container clusters. Buyers who need more storage density than the eight 3.5-inch bays provide should consider a different chassis. The PERC H730 controller manages SAS and SATA drives in hardware RAID.
Dual 495 W Supplies and iDRAC8
Redundant 495 W power supplies deliver fail-over protection while keeping the platform within standard rack power envelopes. Integrated iDRAC8 with Enterprise licence enables remote firmware updates, power cycling and console access without a local KVM. The integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters provide two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for segmented traffic.

Questions about this item
How much raw throughput can the 2.6 GHz 14-core Xeon E5-2697 v3 deliver inside this chassis?
The installed processor runs at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and 35 MB cache; performance scales with the workload and the second socket is empty for a future upgrade
What storage speeds does the PERC H730 SAS controller cap when paired with the SATA drive bays?
The H730 handles SAS and SATA drives through eight 3.5-inch bays; actual throughput depends on the drives you install and the RAID level chosen
What clearance and mounting hardware does the 36 x 24 x 10 in server need for a standard rack?
The unit occupies 2U of rack height and requires a four-post rack with at least 36 inches of depth; Dell rail kits are available on request
