Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives on a Perc H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suitable for general-purpose rack workloads

The system suits deployments that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and 1 GbE networking via a four-port daughter card. It is not for buyers who require more than two processor sockets, more than 16 GB of installed memory, or 10 GbE connectivity without adding an optional NDC.

Single E5-2630v3 processor installed

One Xeon E5-2630v3 CPU is fitted, providing eight cores and 16 threads; the second socket is empty but supported. Memory can scale to 1536 GB across 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, though the installed configuration is 16 GB. The H730 controller handles SAS or SATA drives with 1 GB cache.
