Ready-to-rack 2U server for virtualisation workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R730 arrives as a 2U rackmount system with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives sit behind the front hot-plug bays, managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module are fitted as standard.

Tool-free drive trays and CPU socket access

The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives; trays are included with populated bays so additional drives slide in without tools. A second processor can be added to the empty socket to reach the 24 DIMM slot maximum, but the board is limited to 8 GB per installed DIMM and 1536 GB total. The H330 controller occupies the dedicated PERC slot, leaving up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots for extra I/O cards.

Verify rack depth, power cords and OS plan

Measure your rack depth against the 26.8 inch chassis length and confirm 2U vertical space before ordering. The unit ships without an operating system, so prepare installation media for your chosen hypervisor or OS. Network connectivity defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card; 10 GbE NDC upgrades are optional but not included. Ensure 750 W redundant power cords match your PDU connectors.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H330 controller and both 1 TB drives are recognised after power-on?

Watch the POST for the H330 BIOS screen and confirm two 1 TB SATA drives appear, then open the iDRAC8 web interface to check drive health and RAID status.

Which items ship inside the box and which must be ordered separately?

The server arrives with one E5-2630 v3 CPU, 8 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 2.5" SATA drives in hot-plug trays, H330 RAID controller, DVD-ROM, dual 750 W redundant supplies and 4 x 1 GbE daughter card; extra CPUs, memory, drives, rails and OS are not included.

Should I select the single-CPU 8 GB version or the dual-CPU 1536 GB max version for virtualisation?

The listed unit has one E5-2630 v3 and 8 GB installed; the chassis supports a second CPU and 24 DIMM slots for up to 1536 GB total, so choose the single-CPU base if budget is tight or the dual-CPU configuration if you need more cores and memory headroom.
