Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The PERC H730 RAID controller manages the two installed 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives across eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU cores

The ten-core CPUs deliver 40 threads for multi-tenant workloads while the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of memory out of the box should plan additional DDR4 modules. The 2.5-inch bay count limits raw capacity compared with 3.5-inch chassis designs.

24 DDR4 slots with twelve per processor

Memory expands through 24 DIMM sockets split evenly between the two CPUs. The installed 16 GB uses only a fraction of this capacity, leaving room for larger DDR4 modules up to the platform limit.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors and 16 GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the BIOS POST screen or iDRAC8 web interface; both will display the two 10-core CPUs at 2.3 GHz and the total 16 GB of DDR4 memory.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

The unit includes the 2U chassis, two E5-2650 v3 CPUs, 16 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 7.2K 2.5″ SATA drives on the H730 RAID controller, DVD-ROM, two 750 W redundant power supplies and a 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; additional drives, memory modules, PCIe cards, 10 GbE NDC upgrades, vFlash media and an operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose when expanding beyond the installed 16 GB?

Select DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB up to 2400 MT/s, populating the 24 DIMM slots evenly across both processors to reach the 1536 GB maximum.
