Dell PowerEdge R730 8SFF Dual Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are available for SATA or SAS storage, and remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require more than 768 GB of RAM or a different drive bay count should consider other platforms. Workloads needing GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics.

Maximum memory capacity is 768 GB DDR4

The system currently holds 512 GB across its DIMM slots and can be expanded to 768 GB using DDR4 registered modules. This ceiling determines whether the server can accommodate planned workload growth without a hardware change.

Questions about this item

What SAS standard does the PERC H730 RAID controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730 controller uses 12 Gb/s SAS and caps drive throughput at that rate.

What physical space and rails does the 2U rack chassis need to fit in a standard cabinet?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and requires a 2U rack space with compatible sliding rails.

How are the dual CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both Xeon E5-2690 v3 processors and all DDR4 ECC RDIMMs come pre-installed; the common miss is forgetting to seat the memory risers fully before powering on.
