PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system supplied new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It includes 48GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and a Dell Perc H330 storage controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and dual 750W redundant power supplies.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

The 24 DIMM slots and 1536GB maximum memory capacity suit environments that plan to scale RAM heavily over time. The single-socket configuration and Matrox G200 graphics limit GPU-accelerated workloads or visualisation tasks. Buyers who need dual processors installed immediately or more than eight drive bays should look at a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the eight-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 controller delivering 12Gbps SAS/SATA connectivity and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. This combination fixes the storage device count, form factor and data-protection options available without adding expansion cards.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 DIMMs do I need to populate the 24 slots and reach the 1536GB maximum?

Use 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2609v3 capability.

Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and use the H330 controller?

Yes, the 8 hot-plug bays accept 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and the H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is active after power-on?

During POST watch for the iDRAC8 network banner, then browse to the shown IP address; the default licence is iDRAC8 Express.
