DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 300GB SAS H330

Target Workloads

This 2U rack server is built for virtualization, database and general compute tasks that benefit from ten cores and 20 threads at 2.3 GHz. The single E5-2650 v3 processor and 48 GB of DDR4 suit small-to-medium businesses running multiple VMs or memory-intensive applications. Buyers who need dual-socket performance or larger memory footprints should look elsewhere.

Setup Verification

Confirm the rack provides 2U of clearance and can accept a unit 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide. Ensure the facility supplies redundant power for the two 750 W hot-swap supplies and that the SAS backplane matches the 2.5 inch drive bays. The PERC H330 controller occupies a dedicated slot, leaving up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots for additional cards.

Sustained Operation

Dual redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive bays keep services running during component replacement. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for data protection under continuous I/O. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access, while four 1 GbE ports provide steady network connectivity for management and workload traffic.
