Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H730 controller support?

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for direct drive access.

What rack depth and rail type are required to mount this 2U server?

This 2U server includes Dell Ready Rails for square-hole or round-hole 4-post racks; verify your rack depth matches the rail adjustment range before installation.

How are the 10 SAS drives installed and which step is often missed?

Drives mount in the front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees any storage.
