Trivera Expert Tip

One thing many buyers overlook is that the R730xd does not support GPU cards at all, while this R730 does. If there is any chance your workload will involve GPU-accelerated VDI, remote desktop rendering, or compute acceleration, the R730 is the correct platform to commit to since the chassis cannot be changed after purchase. For memory, maximum bandwidth is only achieved when all channels are populated equally, so add RAM in sets of 8 or 24 DIMMs for the best performance per dollar. The front panel iDRAC Direct USB port is also a practical feature for on-site teams managing servers without a dedicated KVM switch, allowing direct laptop connection for console access and firmware updates with no network required.

R730 Server Capabilities

Key Features

Form Factor2U Rack Server
ProcessorsUp to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors with up to 18 cores per CPU. This unit ships with dual E5-2697 v4 processors, delivering a total of 36 cores and 72 threads with DDR4 memory running at its full rated speed of 2400MT/s
Memory24 DDR4 DIMM slots across 8 memory channels (3 DIMMs per channel), supporting up to 1.5TB of RDIMM or up to 3TB of LRDIMM ECC memory. With E5-2600 v4 processors, memory runs at the full 2400MT/s rated speed
Storage8 x 2.5 inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays with 12Gb/s SAS backplane. Supports SAS HDD, SATA HDD, SAS SSD, and SATA SSD. Tool-less hot-plug drive removal allows drive replacement without powering down
Power SupplyHot-plug redundant power supplies with 750W Platinum efficiency as standard. 1100W Platinum option available for GPU-equipped configurations that require higher headroom
RAID ControllersDedicated internal PERC mini-mono slot supports H330, H730, H730P, and S130 software RAID without consuming any of the 7 PCIe expansion slots. External RAID expansion via PERC H830. All controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60

Expansion and I/O

PCIe Slots7 x PCIe Gen 3.0 slots plus a dedicated internal PERC slot that keeps the RAID controller entirely off the PCIe bus. Riser 1 provides 3 half-height x8 slots. Riser 2 provides 1 full-height x8 slot and 1 full-height x16 slot. Riser 3 provides 2 full-height x8 slots. All 7 PCIe slots remain free for NICs, HBAs, and accelerators
GPU SupportSupports up to 2 double-wide 300W GPUs or up to 4 single-wide 150W GPUs via PCIe risers 2 and 3. Compatible with NVIDIA Tesla, AMD FirePro, and Intel Xeon Phi accelerators. This is a capability exclusive to the R730 chassis and is not available on the R730xd
NetworkingDedicated Network Daughter Card (NDC) slot ships with 4x 1GbE. Upgradeable to 2x10GbE with 2x1GbE, or 4x10GbE NDC configurations without using a PCIe slot. Additional PCIe NICs can extend connectivity to 25GbE, Fibre Channel, or InfiniBand
ManagementiDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller. Front panel features include an interactive LCD status panel, iDRAC Direct USB port for laptop-based management, and a vFlash media card slot. Optional Quick Sync bezel adds NFC-based proximity management via mobile device. iDRAC8 Enterprise unlocks a dedicated gigabit management NIC port operating independently from production traffic

Recommended Use Cases

GPU-Accelerated VDIThe R730 8-bay SFF is the only chassis in the 13th generation R730 family that supports GPU cards. Combined with 36 cores, 72 threads, and up to 1.5TB of RAM, it is a capable platform for GPU-accelerated virtual desktops using VMware Horizon or Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, supporting workloads like CAD/CAM, architectural rendering, and remote engineering environments where users need dedicated GPU performance
Enterprise Virtualization (VMware / Hyper-V / Proxmox)With dual E5-2697 v4 processors, 24 DIMM slots, and the full 7 PCIe slots available for 10GbE NICs and HBAs, this R730 is a well-rounded general purpose virtualization host. The 8-bay SFF layout keeps the drive footprint compact and focused on speed rather than bulk capacity, making it ideal for VM boot drives, database volumes, and application disks that benefit from fast SAS or SSD storage
ERP and Business-Critical ApplicationsThe E5-2697 v4 is one of the highest core count processors available for the R730 platform, making this configuration particularly well suited for multi-threaded ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite, and Microsoft Dynamics. The large DDR4 memory ceiling and ECC memory protection ensure data integrity for transaction-heavy workloads running continuously across working hours

FAQ about Dell r730

Common questions about this server answered by our technical team

What is the key difference between the R730 8-bay SFF and the R730xd, and which should I choose?

The R730 and R730xd share the same processor, memory, and chipset platform, but differ in two important ways. The R730xd prioritizes storage, offering up to 24 x 2.5 inch or 12 x 3.5 inch drive bays depending on chassis. The R730 on the other hand is the only model in this family that supports GPU cards, accommodating up to 4 single-wide or 2 double-wide accelerators via its PCIe risers. If your workload is purely storage-driven, such as backups, file servers, or large RAID arrays, the R730xd makes more sense. If your workload involves virtualization with GPU passthrough, VDI rendering, or compute acceleration, or if you simply want to keep that option open in the future, the R730 8-bay SFF is the right chassis to commit to since neither server can be converted to the other after purchase.

What operating systems and virtualization platforms are supported on the Dell PowerEdge R730?

The Dell PowerEdge R730 supports a wide range of enterprise operating systems and virtualization platforms validated for production use. This includes VMware ESXi 5.x through 7.x, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2022, and major Linux distributions including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Server LTS, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Debian. For virtualization, the R730 is fully compatible with Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix Hypervisor. The E5-2600 v4 processors in this configuration meet the hardware requirements for all of these platforms without exception, and Trivera configures each unit with a validated driver set ensuring a clean installation experience from day one.

What remote management features does the R730 include, and how is it managed without a KVM switch?

The R730 ships with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller, which provides full out-of-band remote management including power control, virtual console, hardware health monitoring, and firmware updates, all accessible from a browser without requiring physical access to the server. The front panel includes an iDRAC Direct USB port, which allows a technician to connect a laptop directly to the server for console access and configuration without any network connection, making it especially practical for on-site management in Egyptian data centers and server rooms without dedicated KVM infrastructure. Upgrading to iDRAC8 Enterprise unlocks a dedicated gigabit management NIC that keeps management traffic entirely separate from production network interfaces, along with a vFlash card slot for storing deployment images and automation scripts.
