DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 1TB SATA H730

Built for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 48GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and a four-port 1GbE daughter card complete the baseline configuration for dense compute environments.

Thermals Noise and Power in Typical Operation

Redundant 750W power supplies share the load, keeping each unit in an efficient operating range during normal multi-threaded tasks. The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across the CPU and memory zones, allowing the system fans to maintain steady speeds without ramping aggressively. Acoustic output remains consistent with standard data-centre rack expectations rather than office-quiet profiles.

Behaviour Under Sustained Load

With all eight cores and 16 threads fully utilised, the single processor maintains its 2.4GHz base frequency while the H730 controller sustains write throughput across the configured RAID array. Memory bandwidth scales to the supported 2400MT/s DDR4 limit across populated slots. The platform supports a second processor and up to 1536GB total memory for workloads that exceed the installed 48GB capacity.
