Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. A PERC H730 RAID controller manages the included 2 x 300 GB 15K SAS drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2U compute

This server fits teams running virtualised workloads that benefit from 16 logical threads and up to 24 DIMM slots for future memory growth. The eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays allow storage expansion without downtime. Buyers who need dual processors installed, 10 GbE networking out of the box, or pre-loaded operating systems should look at other configurations.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 1 GB cache accelerates write-heavy applications and protects data during power loss. Confirm the RAID level and drive count match your capacity and redundancy requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

When will the single E5-2630v3 processor hit its thermal limit under continuous load?

The server uses two 750W redundant power supplies and a 2U chassis designed for data-centre airflow; sustained load is managed by the system fans and iDRAC8 thermal monitoring.

How loud and hot does the R730 get when it runs 24/7?

Dual 750W redundant supplies and hot-swap fans keep the 2U chassis within spec; iDRAC8 provides real-time temperature and fan-speed readings for remote monitoring.

What rack hardware must I already have to install this 2U server?

The unit measures 26.8" deep, 17.44" wide and 3.4" high (2U) and weighs 58 lbs; it mounts in a standard four-post rack using Dell sliding or fixed rails (not included).
