Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualisation hosts

The PowerEdge R730 fits into a 2U rack space and ships with two E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz. A total of 128GB of DDR4 memory occupies the 24 DIMM slots, reaching the installed maximum. The H330 controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 configurations.

Redundant 750W supplies and iDRAC8 remote management

Dual hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy without shutting the system down. The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives out-of-band access for firmware updates, hardware monitoring and virtual console sessions. A Matrox G200 video chip handles basic display output while the four onboard 1GbE ports handle production traffic.

No drives or trays included — add your own storage

The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5-inch drives but ships empty, so capacity and performance depend entirely on the SAS or SATA media you install. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot remain available for additional controllers, networking cards or accelerators. A DVD-ROM drive and a power cable are the only peripherals supplied.

Questions about this item

How do I install the drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5 inch SAS or SATA drive into a hot-plug bay until the latch clicks; the step people miss is creating the virtual disk in the H330 RAID BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The 750 watt redundant power supplies are the first field-replaceable units to wear out; fans and the iDRAC battery follow later.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads?

The two E5-2630 v3 CPUs hit their 2.4 GHz base clock ceiling and thermal envelope before memory or PCIe 3.0 bandwidth become bottlenecks.
