2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an H330 12 Gbps RAID controller support up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from 32 logical cores and the installed 128 GB capacity, which matches the processor-limited maximum. Organisations needing more than 64 TB of raw SAS storage, 10 GbE networking out of the box, or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

128 GB DDR4 Memory Ceiling

The dual E5-2630v3 processors restrict total system memory to 128 GB despite the 24 physical DIMM slots and 1536 GB chipset limit. Buyers anticipating future growth beyond this ceiling must select a different server platform.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 run with both 2.4 GHz Xeons and 128 GB DDR4 loaded 24/7?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies feed the 2U chassis; eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and 24 DIMM slots draw sustained airflow through front-to-rear fans managed by iDRAC8 thermal policies.

Which rails, cables and management licences must I already have to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

The unit includes hot-plug drive trays and a DVD-ROM; rack rails, PDU cords and an iDRAC8 Enterprise licence for virtual console are not supplied.

Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives and PCIe 3.0 cards work with the H330 controller and the seven open expansion slots?

The H330 supports 6 Gbps SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, while seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot accept legacy add-in cards.
