DELL PowerEdge R730 2U rack server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 1TB SATA H730

Single-socket Xeon server for 2U racks

This Dell PowerEdge R730 fits a 2U rack space and ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz plus 48 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives behind a PERC H730 RAID controller and dual 750 W redundant power supplies. It is aimed at teams that need a ready-to-rack platform for virtualization hosts, database nodes or application servers with hot-plug drive bays and iDRAC8 remote management.

Suits single-CPU workloads with SATA or SAS storage

The server supports up to two processors but arrives with one installed, so it matches workloads sized for six cores and 48 GB of RAM. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SATA or SAS drives and the H730 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need a second CPU, more than 48 GB of memory, 10 GbE networking out of the box or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform because this unit ships with one processor, a 1 GbE daughter card and no add-in graphics.

Memory ceiling fixed at 48 GB

The board provides 24 DIMM slots yet the specification lists maximum memory capacity as 48 GB, so the installed 48 GB already reaches the supported limit. No further DDR4 modules can be added beyond what is populated. Confirm that this ceiling covers the intended workload before purchase.
