Ideal for small-business virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Memory and storage headroom

The platform offers 24 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 1536 GB total capacity, though the installed 16 GB leaves ample room for growth. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives and the H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Maximum raw storage reaches 64 TB when all bays are populated.

PCIe 3.0 and networking limits

Expansion is delivered through seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot for the RAID card. Network connectivity defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card with optional 10 GbE upgrades available. Remote management runs on iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller for out-of-band administration.

Questions about this item

Will this R730's single E5-2609 v3 at 1.9GHz work with my existing DDR4-2400 modules in the 12 slots per processor?

Yes, the board has 24 DDR4 slots total, 12 per CPU, and runs modules up to 2400 MT/s; your sticks will operate at the speed the installed processor supports.

How can I confirm the H330 RAID controller sees both 300 GB 15K SAS drives and builds the array correctly?

During POST the H330 BIOS utility lists each detected drive; you can also open the iDRAC8 web interface and check the storage dashboard for both 300 GB SAS disks and the chosen RAID level.

What ships inside the 2U chassis and what must I source separately?

The box contains the R730 with one E5-2609 v3, 16 GB DDR4, two 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug trays, H330 controller, two 750 W redundant PSUs, DVD-ROM, and 4 x 1 GbE daughter card; rails, OS licence, and any extra CPUs or memory are not included.
