Dual-socket Xeon rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25MB cache. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports a maximum capacity of 768GB. The chassis accommodates eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller for storage management.
Virtualisation hosts and database nodes
This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running in-memory databases or hosting enterprise applications that benefit from 20 total cores and high memory bandwidth. The integrated graphics and dual 495W power supplies support remote management via iDRAC8 Enterprise. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays or a single-socket platform should evaluate other form factors.
Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis
The defining specification is the 8SFF chassis that accepts only 2.5-inch SAS drives connected to the PERC H730 controller. No drives are included, so storage capacity and RAID level must be specified at order time. The system also provides dual 10GbE and dual 1GbE network ports for high-throughput connectivity.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?
Log into the iDRAC8 web interface using the default credentials printed on the chassis tag; the dashboard will show both Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 512 GB DDR4, and the PERC H730 controller with zero drive errors.
What components are included and which must be sourced separately?
The server ships with two Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, PERC H730 RAID controller, dual 495 W power supplies, Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card, and iDRAC8 Enterprise licence; 2.5-inch SAS drives and rail kit are not included.
Should I choose the 512 GB configuration or add more memory up to the 768 GB limit?
Select 512 GB if your current workloads fit; the board supports up to 768 GB total, so you can populate the remaining DIMM slots later with matching DDR4 ECC registered modules when demand grows.
