PowerEdge R730 for virtualisation workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets IT teams deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint. The chassis supports a second processor for future scaling.

Storage capacity and RAID flexibility

Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives provide fast primary storage managed by the H730 controller with 1 GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays allow expansion up to 64 TB total raw capacity using SAS or SATA drives. The current 16 GB memory limit matches the installed DIMMs; 24 slots are available for upgrades to 1536 GB when a second CPU is added.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies deliver redundancy without shutting down the server. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band management, remote console and firmware updates over a dedicated network port. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle production traffic, while seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot leave room for additional network or storage cards.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 DIMMs work in the 24 memory slots of this R730?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots supporting 4GB to 128GB modules up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor capability.

How can I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller to check controller firmware, view virtual disk status, and confirm the 1GB cache is reported without errors.

Which items ship with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The box includes the 2U chassis, one E5-2630 v3 CPU, 16GB DDR4, two 300GB 15K SAS drives with trays, H730 RAID card, two 750W redundant PSUs, DVD drive, and 4×1GbE daughter card; OS and extra drives or memory are not included.
