Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations that need dense, redundant compute for virtualisation, database or file workloads in a standard rack cabinet.

Setup checks

Verify that your rack can accept a 2U chassis and that 750 W redundant power supplies match your PDU connectors and circuit capacity. Confirm the four onboard 1 GbE ports satisfy your network topology or plan for an optional NDC upgrade. Ensure SAS or SATA 3.5-inch drives are sourced separately because no drives or trays are included.

Build and connectivity

Dual hot-swap power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays allow drive or PSU replacement without downtime. The dedicated PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across those bays. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus the PERC slot give room for additional NICs, HBAs or accelerators. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band remote management for firmware updates and console access.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays or do I need to order them separately?

No hard drives or trays are included; you must purchase 3.5" SAS or SATA trays for the eight hot-plug bays.

Should I select the single E5-2630v3 configuration or add a second processor?

The board supports up to two CPUs; a second E5-2630v3 doubles cores to 16 physical and 32 virtual threads and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots.

What does the 64GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

64GB fills half the 24 slots at 2400MT/s, leaving 12 slots free for expansion up to 1536GB total when both processors are installed.
