2U rack server with dual 1TB SATA drives

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R730 rack server arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache provide the storage foundation. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a 4-port 1GbE daughter card complete the base configuration.

Tool-less drive bays and standard rail mounting

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives and include trays only when drives are ordered, so plan for trays if you supply your own disks. The PERC H730 occupies a dedicated slot, leaving up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots for additional cards. iDRAC8 Express is installed for remote management; Enterprise features and vFlash media require separate licences.

Verify rack depth and memory upgrade path

The chassis measures 26.8 inches deep, so confirm your rack can accommodate that length. Maximum installed memory is 16GB in this configuration, although the board offers 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1536GB total when a second processor is added; DDR4 modules must be 2400MT/s or slower to match the CPU capability. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller and both 750 W power supplies are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or enter the BIOS; the controller will list the two 1 TB SATA drives and the redundant power supplies will show a green status.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with one E5-2650 v3 processor, 16 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives in hot-plug trays, the H730 RAID card, DVD drive and dual 750 W power supplies; operating system, extra CPUs, memory modules and additional drives are not included.

Should I choose the single-CPU 16 GB configuration or plan for a second processor and more memory?

The board supports two CPUs and 24 DIMM slots with a 1536 GB ceiling; if workloads need more than 10 cores or 16 GB, add the second E5-2650 v3 and populate the remaining slots with DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s.
