Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory and two 900 GB 10 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included. It suits IT teams needing a dense, serviceable platform for virtualization or database workloads.

Ideal for virtualization hosts and storage clusters

This configuration fits administrators who want hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 and up to 24 DIMM slots for future memory growth. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, a second processor installed, or 10 GbE networking from day one should consider other options. The system maxes at 96 GB with the current CPU, so larger memory footprints require a processor upgrade.

Single E5-2650 v3 limits memory to 96 GB

The installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 supports a maximum of 96 GB across its twelve memory channels, matching the factory-fitted capacity. Expanding beyond this figure demands a second or higher-specification processor, which the empty second socket allows. The H330 controller provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity for the existing 900 GB drives and any additional hot-plug disks.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive-bay configuration does the PowerEdge R730 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and provides up to 8 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays for SAS or SATA drives.

How is the H330 RAID controller installed and which step is often missed?

The H330 slots into the dedicated PERC slot on the system board; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller before powering on.

When will the redundant 750W power supplies need replacement?

Replace a supply when the front-panel LED shows amber or iDRAC8 reports a power-supply fault; both units are hot-swap so the server stays running during the change.
