Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller. It targets IT teams that need a dense, dual-socket platform for virtualisation, database or general-purpose workloads in a standard rack. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays support continuous operation.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits environments that can use the installed 32 GB DDR4 limit and the H330 controller's RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 modes across SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of memory, more than eight drive bays, or a controller with cache-backed write acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The four-port 1 GbE daughter card covers basic networking; heavier traffic demands optional 10 GbE mezzanine cards.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling of 32 GB across 24 DIMM slots is the single figure that determines suitability. If the target workload fits within that limit the R730 delivers dual-socket compute with hardware RAID and redundant power; if it does not, a platform with a higher supported capacity is required.

Questions about this item

Does the R730 come with the 2.5-inch drive trays required for the 300GB SAS drives?

Yes, the server includes trays for the installed 300GB 15K SAS drives; additional trays are supplied only with extra drives ordered at the same time.

Can I keep my existing 6Gbps SAS or SATA drives and use them in the 8-bay hot-plug backplane?

The backplane accepts both SAS and SATA 2.5-inch drives, so your current 6Gbps drives will work alongside the supplied 300GB 15K SAS units.

How do I confirm the H330 controller and both 750W power supplies are healthy after installation?

Check iDRAC8 for green status on the PERC H330 and both PSUs, verify the RAID volume shows optimal in the H330 BIOS, and ensure no amber LEDs are lit on the front panel.
