PowerEdge R730 2U dual-Xeon server

This 2U rack server ships with two Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a PERC H330 RAID controller and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives in hot-plug bays. Redundant 750 W power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and 24 DIMM slots for large memory expansion. RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 are available on the H330 controller. Buyers who need more than two processors, PCIe 4.0 slots or onboard 10 GbE networking should look at other platforms.

H330 RAID controller with eight drive bays

The PERC H330 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight hot-plug bays. Maximum raw capacity reaches 64 TB with 3.5-inch SATA drives. This specification determines whether the storage layout matches the intended workload.

Questions about this item

What rack space and drive-bay size does the 2U R730 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and accepts up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

How are the redundant power supplies installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide both 750 W units into the rear bays until they click; the step often missed is seating the second supply firmly so the redundancy indicator lights green.

Which memory modules will be needed for future upgrades?

The system uses DDR4 DIMMs in 24 slots (12 per processor) and supports 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s.
