Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

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 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suited for entry virtualisation and file serving

This configuration fits small businesses or remote offices that need a reliable 2U platform for light virtualisation, file and print services, or backup targets. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory out of the box, more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays, or a second processor for heavier workloads should look at a different system.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 with eight DIMM slots per CPU

The installed E5-2609 v3 activates twelve memory slots but the system arrives with only 8 GB populated, leaving room to expand up to the platform maximum. Adding a second processor would unlock the remaining twelve slots and double the memory channels for larger datasets.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the dual 750 W power supplies are both active after installing the server?

Check the front-panel LEDs and the iDRAC8 interface — both will show each supply as present and delivering power.

What ships with the R730 and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, one E5-2609v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 3.5" SATA drives with trays, H330 RAID controller, DVD-ROM, two 750 W redundant supplies, and a 4-port 1 GbE daughter card; rails, OS licence, additional CPUs, memory, drives or 10 GbE NDCs are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose for the single-processor setup?

With one CPU you can use up to 12 of the 24 DIMM slots; populate them with DDR4 modules up to 128 GB each to reach the 1536 GB maximum supported by this platform.
