Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and enterprise application workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors provide 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed drives.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits teams that need a ready-to-run platform with redundant 750 W power supplies, hot-plug 2.5-inch bays and integrated iDRAC8 remote management. Buyers who require more than 16 GB of memory from day one, or who need additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the seven available, should evaluate larger chassis or higher-density models.

Deciding specification

The installed storage consists of two 900 GB 10K SAS drives connected to the H730 controller. Capacity can scale to 64 TB across eight bays, but the current two-drive set limits usable space and redundancy options until more drives are added.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller is managing both 900GB SAS drives correctly after setup?

Open the H730 BIOS utility during boot and verify the virtual disk shows both 900GB drives in the desired RAID level, then check iDRAC8 storage health for green status on each physical disk.

What comes in the box and which items must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs, 16GB DDR4, two 900GB 10K SAS drives with trays, H730 1GB controller, dual 750W power supplies, DVD drive and 4-port 1GbE daughter card. OS, extra memory modules, additional drives, 10GbE NDC and iDRAC Enterprise licence are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I want to expand beyond the installed 16GB?

The board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s; populate in sets of 12 per processor to reach the 1536GB maximum.
