Dual Xeon 10-core server for virtualisation

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz for a total of 40 virtual threads. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need a dense compute platform for virtual machines, databases or internal applications.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power for uptime

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA media and the chassis includes two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies. A PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the two pre-installed 900 GB 10K SAS drives. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot allow network or storage expansion without downtime.

Efficient cooling in a 2U footprint

The 2U form factor directs front-to-rear airflow across the dual processors and memory banks, keeping thermals stable under sustained multi-threaded loads. Redundant fans and the iDRAC8 remote-management module provide real-time thermal monitoring and alerting. Dual 750 W supplies share the load, reducing per-unit stress and acoustic output during normal operation.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support, and what throughput does that cap the drives at?

The PERC H730 is a 12Gbps SAS controller, so the installed 900GB 10K drives are limited to 6Gbps by their own interface.

What rack depth and width does the 2U chassis require, and does it include mounting hardware?

The unit measures 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide and weighs 58 lbs; standard rack rails are needed but not listed as included.

How do I install additional DDR4 memory, and which slot population rule is commonly missed?

Populate the 24 DIMM slots evenly across both CPUs — 12 slots per processor — and match speed to the E5-2650 v3 capability of 2400MT/s.
