Purpose-built compute density
The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server populated with two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis for virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-performance computing workloads. The integrated PERC H730 SAS controller and iDRAC8 Enterprise licence provide hardware RAID and full out-of-band management ready for production deployment.
Fit and alternatives
This configuration suits buyers who require the full 768 GB memory ceiling and dual-socket density today, without waiting for a custom build. It is not suited for teams that need internal storage out of the box, workloads that demand GPU acceleration, or environments limited to 1U rack space or lower power envelopes.
Deciding specification
The installed memory is fixed at the platform maximum of 768 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, so the server cannot be expanded beyond this capacity. If your application requires more memory per node, you must evaluate a different platform rather than adding modules to this chassis.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and rail kit are required for the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis?
The server needs a rack deep enough for the 36-inch length; a compatible Dell rail kit is available on request and must be mounted before sliding the unit in.
Which firmware step is often missed when installing the PERC H730 controller with the dual 2.2GHz Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs?
After seating the controller, update the system BIOS and iDRAC8 firmware to the latest stable release before creating any virtual disks.
When should the two 495W power supplies and the DDR4 ECC memory be inspected or replaced?
Check the power supplies during any planned downtime and replace them if fan noise or voltage warnings appear; the 768GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is tested at burn-in and typically runs for the server's service life.
