Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualisation workloads

The PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each with eight cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. With 256 GB of registered ECC DDR4 installed across eight 32 GB modules, it targets midsize to large enterprises running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing nodes. The Intel C610 chipset supports up to 1.5 TB of memory across 24 slots for future growth.

Hot-swap bays and redundant power for continuous

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives through a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy with hot-swap replacement. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

300 GB 10K SAS drives set the storage baseline

The system ships with eight 300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS hard drives delivering 12 Gb/s throughput, which determines the raw capacity and performance profile out of the box. Buyers needing significantly larger datasets or all-flash speed will have to replace or supplement these drives. The 24 DIMM slots and dual-socket design allow substantial compute scaling, but the installed drive configuration is the primary factor in deciding whether this unit matches a specific workload.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730 controller support for the installed drives?

The PERC H730 controller runs at 12Gb/s SAS and the eight 300GB drives are 12Gb/s 10K units.

What rack hardware is included with the 2U chassis?

Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the server for direct rack mounting.

How is the PERC H730 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 is a mini mono card that plugs into the dedicated internal slot; the battery module must be seated on the controller before the RAID volume will initialise.
