Single-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the configuration.

Buyers needing dual-processor capacity

This unit supports a second processor but ships with only one installed, so the 16 virtual threads are fixed unless another CPU is added. The eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, yet the maximum installed memory is already reached at 128 GB. Organisations that require more than 128 GB of RAM or more than eight drive bays should consider a different chassis.

Memory ceiling fixed at 128 GB

The platform allows up to 1536 GB when fully populated, but this specific build hits the 128 GB limit with all 24 slots filled. Any future expansion would require replacing existing modules, making the installed capacity the deciding factor for workloads that cannot exceed this ceiling.

Questions about this item

Does the PowerEdge R730 need a second Xeon E5-2630 v3 to reach the 128GB DDR4 limit?

The server holds 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, 12 per processor. With one E5-2630 v3 installed you can use its 12 slots; adding the second CPU unlocks the other 12 slots for the full 128GB capacity.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS drives work with the H330 controller and 2.5" hot-plug bays?

The H330 supports 12Gbps SAS and the backplane accepts 2.5" SAS or SATA drives, so 6Gbps SAS drives will negotiate down and function normally in the hot-plug bays.

How can I confirm the H330 RAID controller sees both 300GB 15K SAS drives after installation?

During POST press the key shown for the H330 configuration utility, or log into iDRAC8 and open the storage overview to verify both 300GB drives appear and the desired RAID level is active.
