Dell PowerEdge R730 2U server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes two 300 GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module are fitted as standard. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and up to seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot.

Suits single-socket workloads needing SAS storage

The system is aimed at buyers who need a compact rack server with hardware RAID and redundant power for virtualisation, database or file-serving tasks using SAS or SATA drives. The single installed CPU leaves the second socket empty, so applications that require two processors from day one will not run at full capacity. Organisations that need solid-state storage, 10 GbE networking or an operating system pre-installed should evaluate other configurations because those items are not included.

16 GB DDR4 memory ceiling with one CPU

The specifications list a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB when only one processor is populated, even though the board contains 24 DIMM slots. Adding the second Xeon unlocks the full 1536 GB limit, so the installed 16 GB is both the starting point and the hard ceiling for this specific configuration. Buyers planning larger memory footprints must budget for the second processor to access the remaining DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

How do I install the E5-2650 v3 processor and what step is often missed?

Align the notches on the CPU with the socket keys, lower the lever gently, then apply the specific torque sequence for the heatsink retention screws; skipping the torque pattern causes uneven pressure and boot failures.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 750 W redundant power supplies and the 15 K RPM 300 GB SAS drives are the primary wear items; fans and the iDRAC8 battery follow typical server lifecycles.

What limit appears first when the H330 controller runs sustained write workloads?

The 6 Gbps SAS link speed of the installed 300 GB drives caps throughput well before the H330 12 Gbps controller or PCIe 3.0 bus become bottlenecks.
