Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built around two eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz. With 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots it suits organisations consolidating workloads or running multiple virtual machines on a single chassis. The platform delivers 32 virtual cores through hyper-threading for parallel compute tasks.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power for uptime

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA media while the Dell PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 arrays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails. A DVD-ROM drive and iDRAC8 remote management with Lifecycle Controller simplify deployment and ongoing administration without physical access.

300 GB 15K SAS drives set the storage baseline

Two factory-installed 300 GB 15 000 rpm SAS drives provide fast, low-capacity primary storage for the operating system or critical databases. The H330 controller supports up to 64 TB of total capacity so additional drives can expand the array. Buyers who need more storage out of the box should plan to populate the remaining six bays before deployment.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation do the expansion slots use and what bandwidth limit does that set?

The R730 provides up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, so each lane tops out at 8 GT/s per direction.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U chassis require?

The server measures 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches, weighs 58 lbs, and mounts in a standard 2U rack space using the included sliding rails.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and which step is often missed?

Both Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors are pre-installed; populate DDR4 DIMMs in sets of twelve per CPU, ensuring each memory channel receives at least one module for full bandwidth.
