Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 900 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. The platform targets IT teams that need a dense, hot-swap storage chassis with redundant power for virtualisation or database workloads.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U unit with 26.8-inch depth and that your power distribution can feed two 750 W redundant supplies. Confirm the SAS backplane matches the 2.5-inch drive form factor and that the H330 controller supports the RAID level you plan to deploy. The system includes a DVD-ROM drive and a quad-port 1 GbE daughter card; additional 10 GbE networking requires an optional NDC module.

Bundled impact

The PERC H330 controller enables hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight drive bays, removing the need for a separate RAID card. Two 900 GB 10K SAS drives provide immediate high-speed storage, while the second processor socket and 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion to 1536 GB when workloads grow. iDRAC8 Express is included for remote management, with Enterprise and vFlash upgrades available separately.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what do I need to buy separately?

The server includes one Xeon E5-2630v3 processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, two 900GB 10K SAS drives with trays, H330 RAID controller, DVD drive, two 750W redundant power supplies and 4 x 1GbE daughter card. No operating system is included. Additional CPUs, memory modules, drives or 10GbE networking cards must be purchased separately.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R730?

The system ships with 8GB DDR4 in a 24-slot design supporting up to 1536GB total. Each processor owns 12 slots; populate in matched sets per CPU for best performance. Supported module sizes are 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB DDR4 up to 2400MT/s — actual speed depends on the installed processor.

What does the 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2630v3 deliver in this chassis?

The single eight-core processor runs at 2.4GHz with 16 threads via hyper-threading. It drives up to 24 DIMM slots at DDR4 2400MT/s, feeds the H330 12Gbps RAID controller and connects to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus the dedicated PERC slot. iDRAC8 Express provides remote management out of the box.
