Product Identity

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform for data-centre deployment.

Who It Suits

This server fits organisations that need a compact 2U chassis with hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and redundant power for virtualisation or database workloads. It does not suit buyers who want dual processors installed, more than 48 GB of memory, or an operating system included.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory is capped at 48 GB because the single populated processor limits the system to twelve of the twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots, so any workload requiring more RAM must start with a second CPU.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with one E5-2609 v3 processor, 48GB DDR4, two 300GB 15K SAS drives, H330 RAID controller, dual 750W supplies, DVD drive and 4 x 1GbE daughter card. A second processor, extra memory, additional drives, OS and rail kit are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this R730?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots, 12 per CPU. With one processor installed, 12 slots are usable and the current 48GB fills some of them. Add modules in matched sets per channel; supported capacities are 4GB through 128GB per DIMM up to 2400MT/s.

What does the single 1.9GHz six-core CPU mean for real workloads?

One E5-2609 v3 gives six cores at 1.9GHz with no hyper-threading, suited to light virtualization, file serving or test environments. Heavier databases or dense VM hosts will benefit from adding the second supported processor.
