2U rack server for scale-up workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives managed by a Perc H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays make it suited for growing storage workloads.

Tool-less drive and memory installation

Eight hot-plug bays accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with included trays so storage can be added without shutting down. The 24 DDR4 DIMM slots are arranged 12 per processor and support capacities up to 128 GB per module at 2400 MT/s, though actual speed depends on the installed CPU. A second processor must be added before the second bank of 12 slots becomes usable.

PCIe 3.0 and 1 GbE connectivity ceiling

The system provides up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot for the RAID controller. Networking defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card with optional 10 GbE upgrades available. Maximum raw storage capacity reaches 64 TB across the eight bays, and total memory tops out at 1536 GB when both processor sockets are populated.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730 RAID controller sees both 1TB SATA drives after first boot?

Open the controller BIOS during POST and confirm the virtual disk shows two physical drives in a RAID 1 array with optimal status.

What ships inside the chassis and which items must I source separately?

The unit includes one E5-2609v3 CPU, 16GB DDR4, two 1TB 3.5" SATA drives with trays, H730 1GB controller, two 750W redundant supplies, DVD drive, and iDRAC8 Express; rails, OS licence, extra CPUs, memory modules, additional drives, and NDC upgrades are not included.

Should I choose the single-CPU 16GB configuration or add a second processor and more memory?

Select the single-CPU 16GB model for light workloads; add a second Xeon and populate up to 24 DIMM slots for heavier virtualization or database tasks that need more cores and up to 1536GB total memory.
