Deliver peak performance
With extensive I/O options and a choice of dense, high-performance storage or low-cost, high-capacity storage, the PowerEdge R730 provides up to 64TB of rapidly accessed storage for databases, business intelligence, and HPC applications when configured with 3.5" drives. This makes it an ideal solution for environments that require processing acceleration, including graphics-intensive VDI implementations such as CAD/CAM and other research and development applications.
GPU Performance
The R730 is extremely flexible with seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, up to 16 x 2.5" SAS, SATA, nearline SAS HDD/SSD, and up to 8 x 3.5" SAS, SATA, nearline SAS HDD/SSD. It also has the option for up to two 300W dual-width accelerators/GPUs (choose from Intel® Xeon Phi, NVIDIA Tesla, and AMD FirePro) to support environments that require processing acceleration
Discover greater versatility
With its ability to create a dense, resource-rich virtualization environment and consolidate management operations in a scalable and centralized virtual desktop environment, the R730 is an excellent choice for midrange medical imaging solutions. It also delivers outstanding functionality in just 2U of rack space, making it an ideal compute node for IT as a service (XaaS) providers

Networking and PCIe
Network Adapters
The Dell PowerEdge R730 offers balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0-capable expansion slots. Dell Select Network Adapters, Dell’s network daughter cards, let you choose the right network fabric without using up a valuable PCI slot.
The R730 supports NDC options including a selection of 1GbE and 10GbE port cards, such as 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T and 10Gb SFP+.

PCIe Slot Mapping
The R730 provides greatly expanded PCIe slot capability over their predecessor servers. This is made possible by the 40 PCIe lanes available from each processor in the system. Two processors are required in the system to enable all PCIe slots. The Dell PowerEdge R730 has been designed to be PCIe 3.0 compliant in order to take full advantage of the processor's capabilities.
NOTE: In a single-processor configuration, slots 1–4 are not usable.

GPU Support
Internal GPU support
Internal CPU cooling restriction
The R730 supports two 300W, full-length, double-wide GPUs or up to four 150W, full-length, single-wide GPUs. Each GPU can support up to 6GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory. Active cooled GPU cards not supported. The GPUs are installed on the PCIe x16 3.0 interfaces available on riser 2 and GPU-optional riser 3. A system must have the optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot to support two double-wide GPUs. A standard riser 3 is required to support 3 or 4 single-wide GPUs.
Because GPUs demand high power, each GPU has up to two power connectors for power delivery. The GPU enablement kit is required for internal GPU installation. The kit contains the power cables and other items to enable GPU support on the R730 chassis.
Internal CPU cooling restriction
Due to the high power consumption of GPUs, there is an ambient temperature restriction of 30oC maximum system inlet temperature to ensure adequate system cooling the R730 has one or more GPUs installed. Note that this temperature is less than the standard environmental specification of 35oC
Other GPU restrictions
The following GPU restrictions for the R730 are enforced by the order validator:
- Requires two processors
- Processors must be 120W or less
- All GPUs must be same type and model
- GPUs require a redundant 1100W power supply and GPU enablement kit
- Two double-wide GPUs require the optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot
- Four single-wide GPUs cannot occupy optional riser 3 with a single x16 slot
- Maximum of two double-wide GPUs (since each takes up two slots)
- Maximum of four single-wide GPUs
- Must have 1U heatsinks and solid PCIe blanks
- Tape backup not supported
