Dell PowerEdge R730 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processor running at 2.5 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller for storage redundancy. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with an Enterprise licence.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams that need a second CPU socket for future growth and a large memory footprint today. Buyers who want more storage bays than eight or who require 2.5-inch drive support should look at a different chassis. Organisations needing a single-socket platform with lower power draw will find this system oversized.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730

The eight-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller determines how many spinning disks or SATA SSDs you can install and what RAID levels are available. Verify that the bay count and controller match your capacity and redundancy plan before ordering.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?

The unit measures 36 inches deep so a rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth is needed.

How do I seat the PERC H730 RAID controller and its cables during install?

Insert the controller into the dedicated internal slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then attach the battery module before closing the lid.

When will the 495 W power supplies need replacement?

Plan to swap the redundant 495 W units after several years of continuous duty or if a supply reports a fault via iDRAC.
