Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays complete the baseline configuration for data-centre deployment.

Fits single-socket entry workloads not dual-socket

This server suits organisations that need a compact rack node for light virtualisation, file serving or legacy applications running on a single CPU. Buyers who require two processors from day one, more than 8 GB of memory without an immediate upgrade, or solid-state storage out of the box should evaluate alternative configurations.

PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller provides 1 GB of cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives. This specification determines the achievable redundancy and performance for the eight 3.5-inch drive bays and must match the storage topology planned for the deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second CPU in this R730 and what step do people miss?

Remove the blank cover from the second socket, align the processor with the notches, seat it firmly, then attach the matching heatsink; the step often missed is updating the iDRAC8 firmware and BIOS so the system recognises the new CPU.

Which parts will need replacement first on this R730?

The two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and the 750 W redundant power supplies are the mechanical components most likely to wear out; DIMMs and the PERC H730 controller rarely fail.

What limit appears first when this R730 runs sustained heavy workloads?

The single E5-2609 v3 at 1.9 GHz with only six cores reaches full utilisation before memory or the H730 12 Gbps SAS bandwidth become bottlenecks.
