Dell PowerEdge R730 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730 storage controller manages ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives in the eight 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits organisations running virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation. Buyers who require more than two processors or need flash-optimised storage tiers should evaluate other platforms. The installed drives are mechanical SAS units, not solid-state media.

Ten 600 GB SAS drives on H730 RAID

The server provides ten 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This storage layout determines both capacity and redundancy for the workload. No solid-state drives are included in this build.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I have available before installing this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two 750 W hot-swap power supplies; ensure your rack has the vertical space and matching PDU outlets for redundant power.

Can the PERC H730 controller manage my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives alongside the ten 600 GB drives already installed?

Yes, the H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so older compatible drives can be added to the same backplane.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Connect the dedicated management port, power on the server, and watch for the iDRAC IP address on the POST screen or LCD; then log in via browser to verify the Enterprise licence features.
