PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

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 across 24 DIMM slots and two 900 GB 10 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This server suits teams that need up to 8 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays and up to seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated PERC slot. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band management. Buyers who require more than one processor installed or who need 10 GbE networking without adding an optional daughter card should consider other platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2630 v3 limits maximum memory to 8 GB

The installed processor caps supported memory at 8 GB despite the 24-slot chassis being able to address 1536 GB with a second CPU. If the workload demands more than 8 GB of RAM, a second processor must be added before additional DIMMs become usable.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and height does the 2U R730 chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack unit measuring 26.8 inches deep, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, weighing 58 lbs, so the rack must accommodate those dimensions and weight.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 occupies the dedicated PERC slot on the system board; the step often missed is connecting the mini-SAS cables from the controller to the drive backplane before powering on.

When will the 900 GB 10K SAS drives or the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The 900 GB 10K SAS drives and the two 750 W redundant power supplies are field-replaceable hot-swap components; replace a drive when SMART alerts or RAID degradation appear, and a power supply when its status LED shows a fault.
