Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 processors, each running six cores at 1.9GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory across the 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives for internal storage. The system includes redundant 750W power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual six-core Xeons provide steady multi-thread throughput for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or batch-processing workloads that run for hours. The 128GB DDR4 ceiling matches the installed capacity, so memory pressure stays predictable without swapping. The H330 controller handles parity RAID levels in hardware, keeping rebuild I/O off the main CPUs during a drive failure. Redundant power supplies and hot-plug bays let you replace a failed unit without taking the server offline.

Installation notes

At 58 lbs the chassis needs two people or a lift to rack safely; rails and bezel are not included. Drive trays are also absent, so you must supply compatible 2.5-inch caddies before populating the bays. The iDRAC8 Express module is active by default for remote power cycling and console access, but enterprise features and vFlash media require separate licences. No operating system is installed, so plan for a PXE boot or USB media to start deployment.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U rack server get when both 750W redundant power supplies run all day?

The R730 uses dual 750W hot-swap supplies and server-grade cooling designed for continuous 2U rack operation; actual acoustics and thermals depend on installed drives and ambient airflow.

Which drives and trays must I supply to use the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays with the H330 controller?

You provide SAS or SATA 2.5-inch drives plus compatible Dell trays; the H330 supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across all populated bays.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 add-in cards fit the seven available slots alongside the dedicated PERC slot?

Yes, the chassis offers up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, so legacy PCIe 3.0 cards install directly.
