Ready-to-deploy 2U rack server
This new Dell PowerEdge R730 ships with dual ten-core Xeon E5-2650v3 processors at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and a PERC H330 controller provide immediate storage redundancy. It targets IT teams that need a validated platform for virtualization or database workloads without waiting for a custom build.
Verify rack space and power before ordering
The chassis occupies 2U and measures 26.8 inches deep by 17.44 inches wide, weighing 58 lbs. Dual 750 W redundant supplies require matching PDU outlets and adequate airflow clearance. Confirm that your cabinet depth and cooling capacity accept these dimensions and that SAS drive trays match the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.
Expands with memory, drives and PCIe cards
Twenty-four DIMM slots support up to 1536 GB of DDR4 when all slots are populated with compatible modules. Six additional drive bays accept SAS or SATA media for capacity growth. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot allow networking upgrades such as 10 GbE daughter cards or extra storage controllers.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?
The server ships with dual E5-2650v3 CPUs, 16GB DDR4, two 300GB 15K SAS drives on an H330 controller, two 750W redundant supplies, a DVD drive, four 1GbE ports and iDRAC8 Express. Operating system, additional memory, extra drives and 10GbE networking are not included.
Which memory capacity should I choose for this R730?
The board has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4GB through 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s. Installed memory is 16GB; the processor-limited maximum is 1536GB. Match module size to your workload and populate evenly across the 12 slots per CPU.
What does the 2.3GHz ten-core figure mean once the server is running?
Each E5-2650v3 runs at 2.3GHz with ten physical cores. With both CPUs installed and hyper-threading enabled the OS sees 40 logical threads, giving parallel throughput for virtualisation, databases or compute tasks.
