2U Rack Server for Virtualisation Hosts

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits in a 2U rack slot and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory occupy 24 DIMM slots, reaching the installed maximum. Two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives provide baseline storage for hypervisors or lightweight databases.

Storage Controller and Redundant Power

The H330 RAID controller supports levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails. A DVD-ROM drive is included for legacy media installation.

Chassis Depth and Expansion Slots

At 26.8 inches deep the chassis requires a standard-depth rack; the 3.4-inch height matches the 2U form factor. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot allow additional networking or storage cards. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle management and workload traffic out of the box.

Questions about this item

How do I replace the 750W redundant power supply if one fails?

Each 750W unit is hot-swap; slide the failed module out and insert the replacement while the server stays on.

What limits sustained CPU performance under heavy load?

The single E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9GHz processor and its thermal envelope set the ceiling.

How loud are the fans when the R730 runs 24/7?

Dual 750W redundant supplies and 2U chassis fans spin continuously; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room.
