Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

This 2U rack-mount server is built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller and dual 750 W redundant power supplies. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots for expansion.

Suits single-socket deployments

This configuration fits workloads that run on one CPU and need internal redundancy through RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. It is not for buyers who require a second processor installed, more than 16 GB of memory from the factory, or solid-state drives included. The four 1 GbE ports handle standard network traffic; 10 GbE connectivity would need an optional daughter card.

PERC H330 RAID controller decides fit

The H330 manages the two installed 1 TB SATA drives and any additional SAS or SATA drives up to a total of 64 TB raw capacity. If your application needs a different RAID feature set or a controller with onboard cache, this server will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750W redundant power supply run during 24/7 operation?

The server uses two 750W hot-swap supplies that share the load; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and total draw, so acoustics and heat output scale with the actual workload rather than the maximum rating.

What rack hardware is required to mount this 2U chassis?

The unit is a 2U rack-mount server measuring 26.8" deep, 17.44" wide and 3.4" high; standard square-hole rails or a compatible four-post cabinet are needed for installation.

Will the onboard 1GbE daughter card and PCIe 3.0 slots work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and older PCIe 2.0 expansion cards?

Four 1GbE ports connect to Cat5e without issue, and the seven PCIe 3.0 slots are backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards at the lower generation speed.
