Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Check CPU socket count.

The chassis supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots, though only one CPU and 8 GB are installed. Verify that your workload can run on a single socket or budget for a second Xeon. The backplane accepts up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives; confirm cable routing and backplane version match the H730 controller before adding disks. PCIe 3.0 slots and the dedicated PERC slot are available for additional cards.

Dual 750 W supplies share load for redundancy

Two hot-swap 750 W power supplies operate in redundant mode, so each unit runs at partial load during normal operation. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation; expect moderate airflow noise in a cooled rack aisle. The DVD-ROM drive adds negligible draw. Power consumption scales with processor count, memory population and drive quantity, so plan circuit capacity for the fully populated configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the 2.5-inch bays, or do I need to order them separately?

The two 300 GB 15K SAS drives include their trays; any additional 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives you add will also come with trays.

The spec lists a maximum of 8 GB memory yet 24 DIMM slots — which capacity should I choose for this configuration?

The installed memory is 8 GB DDR4; the 24 slots support up to 1536 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s.

With a single E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz and the H730 controller, what RAID levels can I actually run on the two 300 GB drives?

The H730 1 GB 12 Gbps controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; with two drives you can configure RAID 0 or RAID 1.
