Dell PowerEdge R730 8x3.5" Server

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors running at 1.6GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing high memory

The 256GB DDR4 configuration and dual-socket design serve virtualisation clusters, database servers and compute-heavy applications well. Buyers who need more than two processors or more than 768GB maximum memory should look at a different platform. Systems requiring drive interfaces other than SAS or SATA are not supported by this controller.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller. It defines how many spinning drives or SSDs you can install and which RAID levels are available. No drives are included so storage capacity must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

What SAS controller does the PERC H730 use and what drive speeds does it cap in practice?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages the eight 3.5-inch bays and limits each drive to the SATA interface speed.

What physical space and rail clearance does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch R730 chassis need to fit in a rack?

The 2U rack-mount chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds; a compatible rail kit is available on request.

How are the two Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors and 256GB DDR4 ECC registered modules installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the dual-socket board; the 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the DIMM slots — ensure the firmware is updated to the latest stable version before first boot.
