Ready-to-rack dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors at 2.3 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes an H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and two hot-swap 750 W power supplies. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and a DVD drive.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits teams that need high core counts and large internal storage capacity in a compact rack unit. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 32 GB of installed memory, or PCIe 4.0 expansion should evaluate other platforms. The four onboard 1 GbE ports cover standard management and data traffic.

Installed memory fixed at 32 GB DDR4

The system ships with 32 GB populated across 24 DIMM slots and the specification lists the maximum installed capacity as 32 GB. Any memory upgrade would require replacing the supplied modules, so confirm the total capacity meets the workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 26.8-inch-long R730 need?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep, so a standard four-post rack with adjustable rails set to at least that depth will accommodate it.

How do I install the H330 RAID controller and which slot does it use?

The H330 installs in the dedicated PERC slot inside the chassis; seat the card fully before closing the cover.

What drive replacements will the 8-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug backplane accept later?

The backplane supports 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; any compatible drive can be hot-swapped without tools.
