Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

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. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives occupy the front 2.5-inch hot-plug bays, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience.

Fits virtualisation hosts, not GPU compute

This server suits teams running virtualisation, databases or legacy applications that benefit from 16 logical threads and up to 96 GB of DDR4. The single-socket configuration limits total memory to 96 GB and leaves the second CPU socket empty. Buyers who need more than 96 GB of RAM, dual-processor throughput or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

Single E5-2630v3 caps memory at 96 GB

The installed Xeon E5-2630v3 supports a maximum of 96 GB of DDR4 across its 12 memory channels, matching the factory configuration. Adding a second compatible processor would raise the ceiling to 1536 GB, but the current single-CPU layout makes 96 GB the hard limit. Confirm this capacity meets your workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 750W redundant supplies and Xeon E5-2630v3 generate under continuous load?

The server uses two 750W hot-swap power supplies in redundant mode; the single installed Xeon E5-2630v3 runs at 2.4GHz with eight cores, and the 2U chassis draws intake air through front-to-rear fans sized for that thermal envelope.

What rack, rails and network cabling must I already have to install this 2U unit?

The chassis measures 26.8" deep, 17.44" wide and 3.4" high (2U) and weighs 58 lbs; it needs a standard four-post rack, sliding rails, and Cat5e or better patch cables for the four onboard 1GbE ports.

Can I keep my existing 2.5" SAS drives and PCIe 3.0 cards when moving to this R730 with its H730 controller?

The backplane accepts up to eight 2.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, the H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, and seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot are available for add-in cards.
