Dell Poweredge R730 Spec Sheet

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R730 is a versatile two-socket 2U rack server designed for midsize to large enterprises requiring high compute performance and flexible configuration options. Powered by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family, this system supports dual processors with core counts ranging from 4 to 22 per socket, delivering robust processing power for demanding workloads. The PowerEdge R730 accommodates up to 24 DIMMs of high-capacity DDR4 memory running at speeds up to 2400MT/s, offering a total maximum memory capacity of 3TB with ECC protection and advanced availability features like single device data correction. Its compact 2U chassis measures 8.73 cm in height, making it ideal for dense data center deployments while maintaining extensive resource capabilities.

The PowerEdge R730 provides extensive I/O and storage versatility to meet diverse application needs. Users can configure up to 16 small form factor drives or 8 large internal hard drive bays, supporting SAS, SATA, and nearline SAS media with maximum capacities reaching 29TB for 2.5-inch configurations and 64TB for 3.5-inch setups via 8TB drives. The system features up to seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots alongside a dedicated PERC slot, allowing integration of internal controllers such as the PERC H730P or H830, external HBAs, and up to two internal GPU accelerators for graphics-intensive tasks. This hardware architecture enables the PowerEdge R730 to excel in virtual desktop infrastructure deployments, high-performance computing nodes, database operations, medical imaging solutions, and dense virtualization environments where consolidation and scalability are critical.

To maximize operational efficiency and simplify administration, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R730 integrates advanced management tools including iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller technology, which supports agent-free deployment and configuration automation. IT administrators gain deep visibility through iDRAC Direct, iDRAC Quick Sync, and the OpenManage portfolio, enabling centralized monitoring via OpenManage Essentials and mobile access through OpenManage Mobile. The server enhances reliability with hot-plug redundant power supplies and cooling fans, proactive systems management alerts, and support for high availability clustering. Energy optimization is addressed through titanium and platinum efficiency power options up to 1100W, ensuring the PowerEdge R730 delivers cost-effective infrastructure management for enterprises seeking reduced time-to-production, lower operational costs, and robust data center performance.
