2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis provides up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and dual 750 W redundant power supplies for continuous operation.

Check CPU socket count and memory ceiling

The motherboard accepts a maximum of two processors but only one is installed; verify whether your workload needs the second socket before ordering. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s across 24 DIMM slots with a per-processor limit of 12 slots, and the specification notes an 8 GB installed ceiling that can be expanded with compatible DDR4 modules. Network connectivity defaults to a four-port 1 GbE daughter card with optional 10 GbE upgrades.

Dual redundant supplies manage heat and draw

Two hot-swap 750 W power supplies share the load, keeping each unit below peak stress and allowing one to fail without downtime. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow across the drive cage and CPU heatsinks, so fan speed scales with inlet temperature and component load. Acoustic output is typical for a rack-mount server in a data-centre environment rather than an office setting.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I add to make the server run?

The system ships with one Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives in hot-plug trays, a PERC H730 RAID controller, dual 750 W redundant supplies, a DVD drive and iDRAC8 Express. You must supply an operating system, any extra memory modules, additional drives up to eight bays, and optional 10 GbE networking cards.

Should I choose the single-processor configuration or add a second CPU?

The board supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots. Adding a second Xeon doubles the core count and unlocks the remaining 12 memory slots, letting you scale beyond the installed 8 GB toward the 1536 GB maximum.

What does the H730 12 Gbps RAID controller actually deliver in this chassis?

The H730 provides 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch bays. With the two installed 1 TB SATA drives it can run RAID 1 for redundancy or RAID 0 for capacity, and it will manage any additional SAS or SATA drives you add later.
