2U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R730 fits two processor sockets and twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots into a 2U chassis. A single Xeon E5-2630 v3 with eight cores at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of memory is installed. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing expansion room

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and seven PCIe 3.0 slots give headroom for storage and I/O growth. The four-port 1 GbE daughter card covers basic networking. Buyers who need 10 GbE or fibre-channel connectivity out of the box should look at a system that includes those interfaces.

Sustained load behaviour with redundant power

Hot-swap power modules share the load so a single failure does not interrupt operation. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for continuous data protection during rebuilds. Memory runs at speeds the installed processor allows, up to 2400 MT/s, keeping latency stable under long-running workloads.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules and how many slots are needed to expand the 8 GB installed RAM?

The server has 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, and accepts 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s.

Can the existing 3.5-inch SATA drives stay in the hot-plug bays if a second processor is added later?

Yes, the 8 hot-plug bays support both SAS and SATA drives independently of the processor count.

How do I confirm the PERC H730 controller is managing the two 1 TB drives in the chosen RAID level?

Use the iDRAC8 interface or boot into the PERC H730 BIOS utility to view the virtual disk configuration and health status.
