Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for data-centre and enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 60 across eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide power resilience.

Suitable uses and limits

This server suits organisations needing a dense 2U platform with hardware RAID and redundant power for virtualisation, database, or file-serving roles. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the listed maximum. It is less suited for buyers who need storage drives included, who require more than eight 2.5-inch bays, or who depend on onboard 10GbE connectivity without adding an optional network daughter card.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is capped at 32GB and the processor maximum is two sockets. If the target workload demands more than 32GB of RAM or additional CPU sockets, this specific configuration will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives work in the 8 hot-plug bays of this R730?

Yes, the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, and the H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How can I verify the dual Xeon E5-2609v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show two six-core CPUs at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, dual 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD-ROM drive, Matrox G200 video, four-port 1 GbE daughter card and a power cable; rails, bezel, drives, drive trays, OS, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.
