2U rack server for dual Xeon workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits in a standard 2U rack space and ships with two E5-2609v3 six-core 1.9 GHz processors. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to expand up to 1536 GB. The integrated H330 controller manages the two included 1 TB 7.2 K 2.5-inch SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60.

Check rack depth, power and network needs

Verify the 26.8-inch depth clears your rack and that the 750 W redundant hot-swap supplies match your PDU connectors. The system provides four 1 GbE ports on the daughter card; 10 GbE options exist but are not installed. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot are available for additional controllers or networking cards.

Dual 750 W supplies share load for cooling

Redundant power supplies split the draw, keeping fan speeds moderate under typical loads. Hot-plug drive bays allow drive replacement without shutting down. The iDRAC8 remote management module runs independently, so monitoring and firmware updates do not add heat to the main CPUs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server includes two E5-2609v3 processors, 16GB DDR4 memory, two 1TB 2.5" SATA drives with trays, an H330 RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive, and a 4-port 1GbE daughter card. An operating system and any additional drives or memory must be bought separately.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R730?

The system ships with 16GB DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1536GB total. Choose 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed processors.

What does the 1.9GHz figure mean for real-world performance?

Each of the two six-core E5-2609v3 CPUs runs at a fixed 1.9GHz base frequency with no turbo boost, delivering 12 total threads for predictable throughput in virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads.
