2U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, each providing eight cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing many cores

Organisations that require GPU compute, 10 GbE networking as standard, or more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms. The system offers up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot for additional I/O expansion.

Maximum memory capacity of 1536 GB across 24 slots

The 24 DDR4 DIMM slots support modules up to 128 GB each, allowing total memory to scale far beyond the 64 GB installed. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can meet future workload growth without a platform change.

Questions about this item

Does the R730 ship with drive trays or caddies for the 3.5-inch bays?

No hard drives or trays are included; the eight hot-plug bays accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, so trays must be sourced separately.

The spec lists 64 GB installed but mentions 1536 GB maximum — which capacity should I choose?

The system arrives with 64 GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots; add matched modules in multiples of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB up to the 1536 GB limit if the workload needs more memory.

What does the dual E5-2630 v3 2.4 GHz configuration deliver in a live workload?

Two eight-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz provide 16 physical cores and 32 threads, backed by the C610 chipset and DDR4-2400 support for multi-threaded server tasks.
