Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a dual-socket rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 900 GB 10K SAS drives occupy two of the eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience.

Suited for virtualization hosts, not GPU workloads

This configuration suits buyers building a virtualization host or database node that benefits from 40 logical threads and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. The four onboard 1 GbE ports and optional 10 GbE daughter cards handle typical LAN traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two 900 GB drives out of the box, or single-thread frequency above 2.3 GHz should look at something else.

Maximum memory capacity of 1536 GB

The platform supports up to 1536 GB of DDR4 across 24 slots using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB modules at speeds up to 2400 MT/s, actual speed dependent on the installed processors. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with future workload demands.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.3 GHz Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2400 registered DIMMs?

Yes, the server supports DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s across 24 slots; actual speed depends on the installed processor capability.

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller sees both 900 GB 10 K SAS drives after installation?

During POST press the controller shortcut, enter the H730 BIOS utility and verify both drives appear as online with the desired RAID level configured.

Does the chassis ship with drive trays for all eight 2.5-inch bays or only for the two installed drives?

Trays are included with the two installed 900 GB SAS drives; the remaining six hot-plug bays will need trays purchased separately.
