Ready-to-Deploy 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives as a complete 2U rack system with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors, 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 400GB SATA SSDs. It targets IT teams that need a validated platform for virtualisation, database or VDI workloads without the lead time of a custom build.

Enterprise Chassis with Redundant Power

The 2U enclosure uses hot-swap 750W platinum power supplies and includes sliding rails plus a front bezel for immediate rack integration. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect to the PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache, while the Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC8 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management.

Dual 6-Core Xeon at 2.4GHz Base

Two E5-2620 v3 CPUs supply 12 total cores with a 3.2GHz turbo ceiling, setting the compute ceiling for every workload on this box. Memory scales to 1.5TB across 24 DDR4 slots, so the installed 128GB can grow without replacing modules. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or more than 12 cores should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H730 controller use and what speed does it cap at?

The PERC H730 controller supports SATA and SAS drives at up to 12 Gb/s, so the installed 400 GB SSDs run at the SATA 6 Gb/s limit.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server require?

It occupies 2U of rack height, uses 2.5" drive bays, and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard cabinet mounting.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 is a mini mono card that plugs into the dedicated internal storage slot; the battery backup module must be connected to enable write-back caching.
