Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 levels. Two 600GB 15K SAS drives and dual 750W redundant power supplies are installed.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not High Capacity Storage

The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1536GB for dense virtualisation workloads. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays support SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need more internal storage capacity than the 64TB maximum should look at a different platform.

Single Processor Limits Maximum Memory

Only one CPU is installed, so the 12 memory slots associated with the second socket remain unusable until a second processor is added. This constraint caps the practical memory ceiling at half the board maximum until that upgrade is performed.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SAS drives in the 8-bay hot-plug chassis?

Slide each 3.5-inch drive into an empty bay until the lever clicks; the H330 controller auto-detects the 6Gbps SAS link and the drives appear in the RAID utility within seconds.

What maintenance will the 750W redundant power supplies need?

The hot-swap modules can be replaced individually without downtime; keep the air intakes clear so the internal fans can cool both units under full load.

What thermal limit appears first when both CPUs run sustained workloads?

The 2U chassis relies on high-speed system fans; if inlet temperature rises above spec the fans ramp to maximum and the iDRAC8 logs a thermal warning before any CPU throttling occurs.
