PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need a dense, dual-socket platform for virtualization, database or general-purpose workloads in a standard rack.

Sustained load behavior

Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies keep the system running during a module failure while the PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The chipset supports a second processor and memory expansion to 1536 GB for heavier multi-threaded demand.

Build quality and connectivity

The chassis measures 26.8 by 17.44 by 3.4 inches and weighs 58 lbs, fitting standard racks with hot-plug SAS or SATA trays included for the two installed 300 GB 15 K drives. Networking starts at four 1 GbE ports via a daughter card with optional 10 GbE upgrades, while seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide room for additional controllers or accelerators. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller handles remote management out of the box.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W supplies draw when the server runs 24/7?

The system ships with two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies; actual draw depends on load but the units share the load for efficiency.

Which rails or rack kit do I need to mount this 2U chassis?

The R730 is a 2U rack server measuring 26.8 x 17.44 x 3.4 inches and weighing 58 lbs; standard Dell 2U sliding rails fit the chassis.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS drives work with the H730 controller?

The H730 1GB 12Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives, so 6Gbps SAS disks are compatible and can be configured in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
