2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads. It runs two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 10 cores each, delivering 20 physical cores in total. 64 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across four slots, with capacity for up to 1.5 TB across 24 slots. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy.

Suits Dense Storage and Virtualisation.

This configuration suits organisations that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage and integrated 10 GbE networking in a 2U form factor. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind the PERC H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two physical processors, or memory beyond the 1.5 TB ceiling should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 Controller Decides RAID and Drive Support

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller is the single specification that determines storage capability. It provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller dictates which drive types, RAID levels and cache policies are available, making it the key factor when matching the server to a storage workload.

Questions about this item

How do the dual 2.6 GHz 10-core Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPUs handle legacy workloads alongside newer nodes?

The two installed processors each run 10 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, sharing the C610 chipset and 24 DDR4 slots so existing DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules can be added up to the 1.5 TB maximum without changing the CPU configuration.

Which iDRAC 8 Enterprise indicators confirm the PERC H730 controller and all eight 2.4 TB SAS drives are healthy after first boot?

iDRAC 8 Enterprise shows a green system health LED, the PERC H730 battery-backed cache status as "Optimal" and each of the eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives reporting "Ready" in the virtual disk and physical disk views.

What ships in the box and which items must be sourced separately for a complete rack install?

The unit includes the 2U chassis with bezel, ready rails, two 750 W platinum power supplies, the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, 64 GB DDR4 in four 16 GB modules and the eight 2.4 TB SAS drives; only SFP+ transceivers and rack mounting hardware for your specific cabinet are not supplied.
