DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz 8 GB DDR4 8× 300 GB SAS H730

Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15K 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 iDRAC8 remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suits single-CPU workloads with hot-plug SAS storage

This server suits environments that need dense 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS storage and hardware RAID in a 2U form factor. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the processor limit, and seven PCIe 3.0 slots provide room for additional I/O. Buyers who require dual-processor performance from day one, more than eight drive bays, or 10 GbE networking without adding a daughter card should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single E5-2650 v3 ten-core CPU installed

The system includes one Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor; a second CPU socket is available but empty. This single-CPU configuration defines the initial thread count, memory-channel population and PCIe lane budget. Adding a second matching processor doubles those resources and enables the full 1536 GB memory ceiling.
