Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for businesses that need dense compute and storage in a standard cabinet. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The system includes two 900GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Build integration and expandability

Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, while the H730 controller occupies a dedicated slot leaving up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots free for additional I/O. A four-port 1GbE daughter card provides baseline networking, with optional 10GbE NDC upgrades available. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 2U chassis uses redundant cooling to maintain stable temperatures during continuous operation. SAS 10K drives and the H730 controller deliver consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads without the thermal throttling seen in smaller form factors. Memory runs at speeds supported by the installed processor, up to 2400MT/s, ensuring predictable latency for virtualisation or database tasks over long periods.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained compute throughput with the single E5-2609v3 CPU?

The installed Xeon E5-2609v3 provides six cores at 1.9 GHz with no Turbo Boost, so sustained throughput is capped by that base frequency and core count.

How much heat and power does the 750 W redundant supply handle during all-day operation?

Dual 750 W hot-swap supplies share the load; each can deliver full power alone, keeping the 2U chassis running continuously with N+1 redundancy.

Which rack-mount hardware is required before the server can be installed?

The 2U chassis needs a standard four-post rack and compatible sliding rails; rails are not included with the server.
