Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for density-focused workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives backed by a PERC H330 RAID controller.

Fit for virtualisation.

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-heavy applications within the 96 GB limit and a single CPU socket populated. The 24 DIMM slots allow later expansion, and the second processor socket remains empty for future growth. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, direct-attached high-speed storage beyond SAS or SATA, or a second processor installed from the outset should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single-socket 96 GB ceiling

The installed memory matches the per-processor maximum of 96 GB, so the system cannot accept more RAM until a second Xeon is added. This single specification decides whether the server fits the workload today or requires an immediate CPU upgrade to unlock the full 1536 GB capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with the rail kit needed to mount it in a standard 2U rack?

The rail kit is not included with the server; you must obtain a compatible Dell PowerEdge R730 rail kit separately to install the 2U chassis in a rack.

Can I keep using my existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with the installed H330 controller?

Yes, the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, so your current 2.5-inch hot-plug drives will work in the eight drive bays.

How do I confirm the single E5-2650 v3 processor and 96GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

During POST the BIOS will display the Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core CPU and 96GB of DDR4 memory; you can also verify both in the iDRAC8 web interface or System Setup.
