2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes a PERC H330 RAID controller managing two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives in hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for dense virtualisation; not for GPU compute

This server suits IT teams consolidating multiple virtual machines on a platform with 24 DIMM slots and up to eight drive bays. The four-port 1 GbE daughter card and seven PCIe 3.0 slots provide standard expansion for networking and storage cards. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 10 GbE connectivity out of the box, or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms.

64 GB DDR4 ceiling limits consolidation

The installed memory matches the processor-supported maximum of 64 GB across 24 slots, so no further RAM can be added without a CPU upgrade. This cap determines how many virtual machines or containers the host can run simultaneously. Organisations planning larger memory footprints must select a different server or replace the processors first.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 Lifecycle Controller on startup; both will list the two 8-core 2.4GHz processors, 32 logical threads and the full 64GB DDR4 across the 24 DIMM slots.

Which items ship inside the chassis and which must be ordered separately?

The 2U server arrives with two E5-2630 v3 CPUs, 64GB DDR4, two 1TB 7.2K 2.5" SATA drives in hot-plug trays, H330 RAID controller, DVD-ROM, dual 750W redundant power supplies and a 4-port 1GbE daughter card; OS licence, extra drives, 10GbE NDC, vFlash media and rail kit are not included.

Should I choose the base 64GB DDR4 or plan for the 1536GB maximum using the 24 slots?

The installed 64GB DDR4 fills part of the 24 slots (12 per CPU) and supports up to 2400MT/s; add 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB DDR4 modules later to reach the 1536GB ceiling.
