DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS H330

PowerEdge R730 for dense virtualisation

The 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need a compact platform for virtualised workloads, database instances or internal business applications where core count and memory capacity matter more than GPU acceleration.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power simplify

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA media while the Dell PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 arrays across the two installed 900 GB 10 K SAS drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the serviceable front-to-rear layout, allowing drive or power-module swaps without downtime.

Efficient cooling keeps acoustics low in rack rows

The 2U chassis draws cool air front-to-rear through managed fans that ramp only under sustained compute load, so idle noise stays suitable for shared server rooms. Redundant 750 W supplies operate in high-efficiency mode, reducing heat output and power draw during typical virtualisation duties while iDRAC8 remote management lets administrators monitor thermal trends without physical access.
