PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for datacentre workloads that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to two processors and includes dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies for continuous operation.

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays with H730 RAID

The server provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays that accept SAS or SATA drives, connected through a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache and 12Gbps throughput. Supported RAID levels include 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, with a maximum raw capacity of 64TB. Current configuration includes two 300GB 15K SAS drives and a DVD-ROM optical drive; additional drives and trays can be added as needed.

Single CPU installed, second socket empty

Only one Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor is fitted, leaving the second CPU socket available for a matching processor upgrade to double core count and memory channels. The board uses the Intel C610 chipset and offers up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot. Networking defaults to a four-port 1GbE daughter card with optional 10GbE upgrades, while remote management runs on iDRAC8 Express with Enterprise upgrade paths.

Questions about this item

Should I select the single E5-2609 v3 or add a second processor for this R730?

The server ships with one E5-2609 v3 six-core 1.9GHz CPU and supports a maximum of two processors; adding the second doubles core count and enables the second set of twelve DIMM slots.

What does the installed 128GB DDR4 mean for actual workload capacity?

128GB DDR4 fills twelve of twenty-four slots at up to 2400MT/s, leaving twelve slots free; the platform maximum is 1536GB when both processors are populated.

How does the H730 12Gbps SAS controller limit drive performance in this 2U chassis?

The H730 provides 12Gbps SAS connectivity to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60; 15K 6Gbps SAS drives will run at their native 6Gbps link speed.
