DELL PowerEdge R730 2U dual-socket server

The DELL PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, delivering 32 cores total for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suits virtualization, databases and HPC nodes.

This server fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehouses, e-commerce platforms or high-performance computing as a data node. The quad-port network daughter card offers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or single-thread performance beyond 3.0 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms.

10 × 600 GB 10K SAS drives on PERC H730 controller

Storage capacity is provided by ten 600 GB 2.5-inch SAS hard drives spinning at 10K RPM. The Dell PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Maximum raw capacity reaches 6 TB before RAID overhead. The 2.5-inch, 8-bay chassis limits future expansion to similar form-factor SAS or SATA drives.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail type are required to mount this 2U server?

The R730 is a 2U rack server that ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard four-post rack installation.

How do I install the PERC H730 RAID controller and what is the common mistake?

The H730 Mini controller fits the dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting its battery backup module to preserve cache during power loss.

When will the 600 GB 10K SAS drives or the controller battery need replacement?

Enterprise 10K SAS drives typically run several years; the H730 battery module should be checked every 2–3 years and replaced if it no longer holds charge.
