Rack Server with Eight-Core Xeon

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 processor running at 2.4 GHz with eight cores and sixteen threads. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across twenty-four DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suits Small-Scale Virtualisation and File Services

This configuration fits businesses needing a compact platform for light virtualisation, file sharing or backup targets with room to add up to six more 3.5-inch drives. The single-socket layout and 8 GB base memory limit immediate capacity for memory-heavy workloads or dual-processor compute clusters. Buyers who need a second CPU installed, larger initial RAM or SSD storage should consider other options.

Single Processor Limits Initial Compute Density

The server supports a maximum of two processors but only one Xeon E5-2630v3 is populated, capping the out-of-the-box core count at eight. Adding a second compatible CPU doubles thread capacity and unlocks the remaining twelve memory slots for full 1536 GB potential. This single-socket starting point is the decisive factor for sizing the system to workload demands.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays for the 8 x 3.5" hot-plug bays, or do I need to buy them separately?

Trays are included with the two installed 1TB drives; empty bays do not come with trays, so additional trays must be purchased if more drives are added.

Should I choose the single E5-2630v3 configuration or add a second processor for my workload?

The board supports up to two CPUs; a second E5-2630v3 doubles cores to 16 physical and 32 virtual threads and unlocks the second set of 12 DIMM slots for up to 1536GB total memory.

What does the 2.4GHz clock on the E5-2630v3 mean for actual performance once the server is running?

Each of the eight cores runs at 2.4GHz base frequency with Turbo Boost available; combined with 2400MT/s DDR4 and the H330 12Gbps RAID controller, it delivers balanced compute and storage throughput for virtualisation and database tasks.
