Server identity and target role

This 2U rack server is built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz with 16GB of DDR4 memory. It suits small-business virtualization hosts, internal application servers or development environments that need redundant power and hot-plug drive bays without a full dual-socket investment.

Bundled controller and expansion

The Dell PERC H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA bays. Two 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD-ROM drive and an iDRAC8 Express remote-management module are included; rails, bezel and peripherals are not.

Capacity limits and headroom

Memory tops out at 16GB installed with 24 DIMM slots available for future upgrades to 1536GB using DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s. Storage scales to 64TB across the eight bays, while seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot provide room for additional networking or acceleration cards.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades on the PowerEdge R730?

The server has 24 DDR4 DIMM slots in total, with 12 slots per processor. Since one processor is installed, 12 slots are available for additional DDR4 modules up to 128GB each.

Which component reaches its limit first when the H330 controller runs sustained RAID 5 or 6 workloads?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller manages the array, so its processing throughput and cache become the bottleneck before the 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive interfaces saturate.

What is the typical power draw and heat output when both 750W redundant supplies run the R730 continuously?

Dual 750W redundant power supplies share the load, drawing only what the E5-2609 v3 CPU, 16GB DDR4, H330 controller and up to eight drives require, keeping heat proportional to actual component demand.
