Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors at 1.9GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays connect through a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting SATA drives. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Enterprise. Dual 495W power supplies are installed.

Suits memory-heavy workloads in an eight-bay chassis

This configuration serves databases, virtualization hosts or backup targets that benefit from 384GB RAM and room for eight SATA drives. The two six-core CPUs provide moderate thread count. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 768GB maximum memory, or a different drive interface should look at another platform.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller driving up to eight 3.5-inch SATA bays. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA disks. This controller and bay count define whether the server fits the intended storage layout.

Questions about this item

What power supplies must already be present in the rack to run the dual 495W units in this R730?

The server includes two 495W power supplies for 12th Gen; ensure the rack PDU can deliver enough 12 V current for both units simultaneously.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise older 3.5 inch SATA drives I want to reuse in the eight drive bays?

The H730 SAS controller supports SATA HDDs, so existing 3.5 inch SATA drives can be installed in the eight bays and configured in RAID.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 Enterprise licence is active after the firmware update?

Log into the iDRAC web interface; the dashboard will display Enterprise licence status and show both Xeon E5-2609 v3 CPUs at 1.9GHz with 384GB DDR4 memory.
