Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF 2.6 GHz Dual Xeon
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SATA drives and includes dual 10 GbE plus dual 1 GbE networking. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote management.
Suited for virtualization hosts needing large
This configuration suits virtualization hosts, database servers, or compute clusters that benefit from 768 GB of DDR4 across two sockets. The eight 2.5-inch bays allow flexible SATA storage layouts. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than two processors, or a 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.
Maximum memory fixed at 768 GB DDR4
The system arrives with every DIMM slot populated, so the installed 768 GB is also the maximum supported capacity. No further memory expansion is possible without replacing modules. Confirm that this ceiling matches the workload before purchase.

Questions about this item
How deep is the R730 chassis so I can confirm it fits my 36-inch rack?
The chassis depth is 36 inches; allow extra space at the rear for cable bend radius and at the front for the bezel and drive caddies.
What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors and the 768 GB DDR4 memory during installation?
Install both processors first, then populate all memory slots following the per-socket channel sequence shown on the system board label.
When should the 495 W redundant power supplies be replaced to avoid unexpected shutdowns?
Plan replacement after three to five years of continuous operation or if iDRAC8 reports a power-supply health degradation alert.
