PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

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 8 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays complete the chassis.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads.

This server suits teams that need generous internal storage bays and redundant power in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need higher single-thread performance, larger factory-installed memory configurations, or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at other platforms because the installed CPU is an entry-level six-core part and the system includes only a Matrox G200 video adapter.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H330 RAID

The defining specification is the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays paired with the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller, which together determine how much local SAS or SATA capacity you can install and which RAID levels are available. Maximum supported raw capacity reaches 64 TB, and the controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 without additional licensing.

Questions about this item

Will my existing SAS drives work with the H330 12Gbps RAID controller in this R730?

Yes, the H330 controller supports both SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so your current SAS drives will function normally in the 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.

How can I verify the single E5-2609 v3 processor and 8GB DDR4 are recognised correctly after installation?

During POST the BIOS will display the six-core 1.9GHz Xeon and the installed 8GB DDR4; you can also confirm both in the iDRAC8 Express interface or the System Setup utility once the server boots.

What ships in the box and which items such as rails or drives must be sourced separately?

The server includes the chassis, motherboard, one E5-2609 v3 CPU, 8GB DDR4, H330 controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive, Matrox G200 graphics and a power cable; rails, bezel, drive trays, hard drives, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.
