2U rack server with single Xeon E5-2650 v3

This 2U rack server ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor delivering ten cores at 2.3GHz and twenty virtual cores with hyperthreading. It includes 8GB of DDR4 memory across twenty-four DIMM slots and two 900GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730 controller. The platform supports a second processor for expanded compute capacity.

Sustained load with redundant power and RAID

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies maintain operation if one unit fails during continuous workloads. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, keeping storage throughput consistent under heavy I/O. Four onboard 1GbE ports handle steady network traffic without saturation.

8GB DDR4 limit with single processor installed

The system arrives with 8GB of DDR4 memory while the chipset supports up to 1536GB when both processor sockets are populated. Buyers who need large memory footprints for virtualization or databases must add a second Xeon and fill additional DIMM slots to reach higher capacities. The single-processor configuration restricts usable memory channels to twelve of twenty-four slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R730 get with both 750 W supplies running continuously?

The server uses redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies and a 2U chassis with managed airflow; fan speed is regulated by iDRAC8 thermal sensors, so noise and heat scale with actual load rather than running at maximum constantly.

Which DDR4 modules must I already have to populate the remaining DIMM slots?

The board accepts 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s across 24 slots, 12 per processor; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 capability.

Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives work with the H730 controller in the R730?

Yes — the PERC H730 supports 12 Gbps SAS and is backward compatible with 6 Gbps SAS drives, so your current 900 GB 10K disks will operate normally alongside any newer SAS or SATA drives you add.
