Built for midsize enterprise workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance computing nodes. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, each running at 2.5 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules installed in 24 available slots.

Hot-swap components simplify deployment

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays support hot-swap SAS hard drives, allowing storage changes without downtime. The PERC H730 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes with a 1 GB cache battery. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management are also hot-swappable. The quad-port network daughter card combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections on a single mezzanine slot.

Verify rack depth and SAS backplane

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with the included ready rails and front bezel. Ensure the SAS backplane matches the eight 1.2 TB 10K drives supplied, as the PERC H730 manages only SAS and SATA devices. Check that the LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset align with any planned processor upgrades, bearing in mind the maximum of two processors is already reached.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 1.2 TB SAS drives after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each detected drive; iDRAC 8 Enterprise then shows every bay with capacity, firmware and health status in its storage inventory.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with two Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors, 128 GB DDR4 in eight 16 GB modules, the PERC H730 with battery, eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; operating system licences and SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Should I choose this 128 GB configuration or add more memory later?

Twenty-four DDR4 slots are available and the board supports up to 1.5 TB; the current 128 GB uses only eight slots, leaving sixteen free for future registered ECC modules.
