Dell PowerEdge R730 2U dual-Xeon server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives connect to a PERC H330 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suited for workloads that fit 32 GB RAM

The installed memory reaches the 32 GB maximum listed in the specifications, so environments that need more capacity cannot expand without replacing modules. The eight hot-plug bays limit storage density, and the PCIe 3.0 slots provide up to seven expansion lanes plus a dedicated PERC slot. Buyers who need greater memory headroom, more drive bays, or newer processor architectures should evaluate other platforms.

Memory fixed at 32 GB DDR4 maximum

The specification states a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB across 24 slots, meaning the current configuration already saturates the platform limit. Any workload requiring additional RAM would need a different server model.

Questions about this item

How loud are the fans when the dual E5-2609 v3 CPUs run at full load all day?

The server uses redundant 750W power supplies and a 2U chassis design that moves air across the 24 DIMM slots and eight drive bays; fan speed scales with CPU and inlet temperature so sustained load will increase airflow noise.

Which rails or rack depth do I need to mount this 2U chassis in my cabinet?

The enclosure measures 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide, so a standard four-post rack with at least 28 inches of usable depth and square-hole or threaded rails rated for 58 lbs will support it.

Will my existing SATA SSDs work in the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays behind the H330 controller?

Yes, the bays accept both SAS and SATA drives and the H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across mixed drive types.
