DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server 2x E5-2609v3 1.9GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS H730

Target workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database and general compute tasks. Dual six-core Xeon processors at 1.9 GHz deliver twelve threads for parallel workloads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory support modest consolidation. Two 900 GB 10K SAS drives on a H730 RAID controller provide redundant local storage. Redundant 750 W power supplies and hot-plug bays suit continuous-operation environments.

Memory ceiling

Installed memory is fixed at 16 GB across twenty-four DIMM slots. The platform accepts DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s, yet the populated capacity cannot be expanded beyond the shipped amount. Buyers who need more RAM must select a different configuration at purchase time. This constraint defines whether the system fits the intended application.

Sustained operation

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and eight hot-plug drive bays allow component replacement without downtime. The H730 controller maintains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 arrays under continuous I/O. iDRAC8 remote management enables monitoring and firmware updates while the server remains in production. These features keep the platform available during prolonged, steady-state loads.
