Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz. It includes 8GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the platform for standard datacentre deployment.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts and storage clusters

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and seven PCIe 3.0 slots for network or storage expansion. Buyers needing more than 8GB of memory or a second processor must add components separately. Organisations requiring GPU compute, 10GbE networking out of the box, or operating-system licensing should plan additional purchases.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache

The installed H730 12Gbps controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the two included 1TB drives and any future hot-plug disks. This single specification determines whether the storage topology meets application redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits do I need to install the 2U PowerEdge R730?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies, so you will need a 2U slot and two PDU outlets.

Can the H730 RAID controller use the SAS drives I already have, or only the supplied SATA drives?

The H730 1GB 12Gbps controller supports both SAS and SATA drives; the chassis accepts up to eight 3.5" hot-plug bays for either interface.

How do I verify the iDRAC8 remote management is working after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to the DHCP address shown on the front LCD, and log in with the default credentials to confirm Lifecycle Controller access.
