Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute in standard cabinets. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz, 8GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller managing two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives in eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Dual 750W redundant supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits workloads that need moderate thread count and internal redundancy, such as virtualisation hosts, file services or application tiers that fit in 8GB of RAM. Buyers who need more memory than the single processor can address, more than eight drive bays, or a second CPU for heavily threaded tasks should look at a different chassis or a dual-socket build.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is fixed at 8GB across 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, with actual speed dependent on the fitted processor. This ceiling determines whether the server can hold the working set of the intended application before any upgrade is planned.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for future memory upgrades?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots in total; with 8 GB already installed, the remaining slots are available for expansion up to the 1536 GB maximum.

Which component will hit its ceiling first during continuous heavy workloads?

The single six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 running at 1.9 GHz and the 8 GB of DDR4 memory will limit sustained compute throughput before the H330 controller or drive bays become a bottleneck.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the dual 750 W supplies run 24/7?

Two redundant 750 W power supplies and active cooling for the 2U chassis mean noticeable fan noise and heat output under constant load; ensure adequate rack airflow.
