2U rack server with single Xeon E5-2609 v3

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 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Scale-up path from single-socket to dual-socket

The chassis supports a second Xeon processor, doubling core count and unlocking the full 1536 GB maximum memory capacity across all 24 slots. 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 storage layouts. PCIe 3.0 expansion slots and an NDC bay allow networking upgrades to 10 GbE when needed.

Steady-state operation

Redundant power supplies and hot-swap drive bays let the system absorb component failures without downtime. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides remote monitoring and firmware management independent of the host OS. The Matrox G200eR2 graphics subsystem consumes minimal power, leaving thermal headroom for sustained compute workloads within the 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 26.8 inch long R730 need for cable and airflow clearance?

The chassis is 26.8 inches deep; allow several extra inches behind the rear panel for power cords, network cables and exhaust airflow when mounting in a standard rack.

How are the two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives installed in the hot-plug bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into one of the eight 2.5 inch bays until the carrier clicks, then use the PERC H330 controller BIOS or iDRAC8 to create a virtual disk before the OS installer will see the array.

When will the 96 GB of installed DDR4 memory need expansion, and what limits apply?

All 24 DIMM slots are populated to reach the 96 GB maximum for a single E5-2609 v3 processor; adding a second CPU unlocks the remaining 12 slots and raises the system ceiling to 1536 GB.
