Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Redundant 750W power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation in dense data-centre racks.

Upgrade path from single-socket systems

Moving from a single-socket tower or 1U box to this dual-socket-capable chassis adds 24 DIMM slots and room for up to eight 2.5-inch drives. The jump is worth it when workloads need more than 1536GB of memory, RAID 50 or 60 protection, or seven PCIe 3.0 slots for additional controllers. Buyers who need only a single drive or under 32GB of RAM will not use the extra capacity.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack provides at least 2U of vertical space and can supply two independent power circuits for the redundant supplies. Confirm the operating system you plan to install supports the C610 chipset and PERC H330 driver stack. Ensure any extra memory modules are DDR4 registered DIMMs rated for 2400MT/s to match the installed memory speed.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and height does the 2U PowerEdge R730 need?

The chassis measures 26.8 inches long, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, so a standard 2U rack space with at least 26.8 inches of usable depth is required.

How is the PERC H330 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H330 plugs into the dedicated PERC slot on the system board; the step many miss is connecting the two mini-SAS cables from the controller to the drive backplane before powering on.

When will the 300 GB 15K SAS drives or the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The 15K SAS drives typically reach end-of-life after three to five years of continuous use, while the redundant 750 W supplies should be swapped proactively around the five-year mark.
