Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Two hot-swap 750W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module are fitted as standard.

Expands from single-socket

This configuration replaces single-processor towers or 1U servers that have exhausted CPU threads, memory slots or 3.5-inch drive bays. The jump is worth it when workloads need 40 hyper-threaded cores, up to 1536GB of DDR4 across 24 slots, or eight hot-plug SAS or SATA bays backed by a 12Gbps hardware RAID controller. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide room for additional network or accelerator cards.

Verify rack depth, power connectors

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 26.8-inch deep chassis and that the facility provides two compatible power feeds for the redundant 750W supplies. The server includes a DVD-ROM drive and a four-port 1GbE daughter card; optional 10GbE networking cards use the flexible NDC slot. No operating system, hard drives or drive trays are supplied, so source those separately.

Questions about this item

What rack space and depth does the 2U R730 need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and measures 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high; allow clearance for the 8 x 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and the dual 750W power supplies at the rear

How are the two Xeon E5-2650v3 processors and 16GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and the 16GB DDR4 are factory-installed; the step users miss is seating the optional rail kit and bezel before sliding the 58 lb chassis into the rack

Which components will likely need replacement or expansion later?

The 16GB DDR4 can be expanded to 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots, the 8 drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives up to 64TB total, and the dual 750W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 vFlash media are field-replaceable
