Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 delivers two Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors at 2.3GHz with 16GB of DDR4 memory in a 2U chassis. It targets IT teams who need dense compute for virtualisation, database or application workloads in a standard rack footprint. The system includes a Perc H330 RAID controller and two 900GB 10K SAS drives for immediate storage deployment.

Upgrade from single-socket or older 12G servers

Replacing a single-processor box or an earlier 12th-generation platform adds a second socket, doubling thread count to 40 virtual cores and expanding memory capacity to 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots. The jump is worth it when workloads outgrow a single CPU or when RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 on the H330 controller becomes a requirement for data protection.

Verify rack depth, power and networking needs

Confirm the 26.8-inch depth fits your rack with cable clearance and that dual 750W redundant supplies match your PDU connectors. The default iDRAC8 Express and four-port 1GbE daughter card cover basic remote management and networking; assess whether 10GbE NDC upgrades or additional PCIe 3.0 cards are required for your environment.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and height does the PowerEdge R730 need for a 2U mount?

The server is 26.8 inches long, 17.44 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, fitting a standard 2U rack space with sufficient depth for the 26.8-inch chassis.

How do I install the PERC H330 RAID controller and the 2.5-inch SAS drives, and what step is often missed?

The H330 installs in the dedicated PERC slot; the two 900GB SAS drives slide into the front hot-plug bays with their included trays — the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the H330 BIOS before installing an operating system.

When will the 750W redundant power supplies or the iDRAC8 battery need replacement?

The two 750W hot-swap power supplies can be replaced individually without downtime; the iDRAC8 vFlash media (8GB or 16GB upgrade) and the system CMOS battery are the components that typically require replacement after several years of service.
