Target 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. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. The platform suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute clusters that need hot-plug drive bays and redundant power.

Sustained-load behaviour

With up to 24 DIMM slots the system can scale to 1536 GB of DDR4 at 2400 MT/s, letting memory-bound workloads grow without a chassis change. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so arrays maintain throughput and redundancy during long rebuilds or heavy sequential I/O. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot leave room for additional NICs or accelerators as demand rises.

Thermals, noise and power

Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load, keeping the server running if one unit fails or is replaced. The 2U form factor and front-to-back airflow are designed for standard rack cabinets with controlled intake temperatures. A DVD-ROM drive and iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provide local media access and out-of-band management without adding significant heat.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the dual 750W redundant supply draw when the R730 runs all day?

The server uses two 750W redundant power supplies; actual heat output and power draw depend on the workload placed on the Xeon E5-2630 v3 and the 16GB DDR4 memory.

What must I already own to install more drives in the eight 2.5" hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5" SAS or SATA drives; the H730 RAID controller manages them, so you only need compatible drives and trays.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 cards fit the seven expansion slots alongside the dedicated PERC slot?

Yes, the R730 provides up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot, so current PCIe 3.0 cards install directly.
