Dual-socket Xeon 2U server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two 12-core Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors at 2.5 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC memory. It includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port 1/10 GbE networking and iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote management.

Fits general-purpose workloads needing dual-socket

This configuration suits teams running virtualised infrastructure, database instances or HPC data nodes that benefit from 24 cores and SAS redundancy. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots, higher single-thread frequency, integrated GPU compute, or all-flash bays without mechanical drives should evaluate other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots with 1.5 TB maximum capacity

The R730 provides 24 registered ECC DDR4 slots and supports up to 1.5 TB of memory, allowing substantial expansion beyond the factory 64 GB. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with future workload demands.

Questions about this item

Will my current LGA 2011-3 coolers fit the dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 sockets on this R730?

The server uses two LGA 2011-3 sockets for the installed Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors; proprietary Dell heatsinks are required, so third-party coolers will not mount.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 controller sees all eight 300 GB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) or check iDRAC8 Enterprise storage view — both will list each 300 GB 10K SAS drive and show the configured RAID virtual disks.

Which items ship in the box and what must I source separately for a working setup?

Included: R730 2U chassis with bezel, 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3, 64 GB DDR4 (4x 16 GB), H730 1 GB cache, 8x 300 GB SAS HDDs, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, 2x 750 W PSUs, ready rails. Purchase separately: OS licences, SFP+ transceivers for 10 GbE ports, any additional DDR4 DIMMs up to 24 slots.
