2U Rack Server with Xeon E5-2609v3

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and two 900GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays complete the platform.

Memory Ceiling and Drive Constraints

The system board provides 24 DIMM slots but the installed configuration reaches the stated maximum of 16GB, so no further memory can be added without replacing modules. Storage expansion is limited to the remaining six 2.5-inch bays and the SAS interface; the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across a total raw capacity of 64TB.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis measuring 26.8 inches deep and that the facility provides power circuits suitable for dual 750W supplies. Confirm the network daughter card matches your infrastructure, as the default unit provides four 1GbE ports while 10GbE options exist separately. Ensure the operating environment meets the server's thermal requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2609v3 or add a second processor?

The system board accepts up to two Xeon E5-2609v3 CPUs. A second processor doubles core count and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond the installed 16GB.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed deliver in this 2U server?

The six-core Xeon E5-2609v3 runs at a fixed 1.9 GHz base frequency. It provides steady throughput for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or file services without turbo boost variability.

How does the H730 controller's 12 Gbps SAS link affect the installed 900 GB 10K drives?

The PERC H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS, but the supplied 900 GB 10K drives operate at 6 Gbps. The controller will run them at their native 6 Gbps speed while keeping headroom for faster SAS SSDs later.
