Product identity

This is a Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, two 1 TB 7.2K SATA enterprise drives, and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suitability

The platform suits buyers who need a dense 2U chassis with eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, and PCIe 3.0 expansion up to seven slots. It is not for buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory installed, who require more than two 1 TB SATA drives out of the box, or who depend on a second CPU socket being populated at delivery.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is fixed at 8 GB despite the presence of 24 DIMM slots, so any workload that cannot run in that footprint will require an immediate memory upgrade before the server enters production.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 controller initialises and reports its firmware version; the iDRAC8 dashboard then shows both 1 TB drives as Online with the chosen RAID level and no critical alerts.

What ships with the server and what must be sourced separately?

The unit includes the chassis, one E5-2650v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 3.5" SATA drives in hot-plug trays, the H730 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD-ROM drive and the iDRAC8 Express module; rails, additional processors, extra memory, drives or an OS are not included.

Which memory capacity should I select for this configuration?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and currently holds 8 GB; choose 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s to reach the 1536 GB maximum supported by the dual-processor design.
