Server overview

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with 10 cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote-management module complete the platform.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits workloads that need fast rotational storage in a dense 2U form factor, such as database instances or virtualisation hosts that can live within 16 GB of RAM. Buyers who need more memory capacity, solid-state storage or a second processor should look at other configurations because the installed DIMMs and drive set are fixed in this listing.

Sustained operation

Redundant hot-swap power supplies and the 15 K SAS spindles are designed for continuous duty in a cooled rack environment. The H330 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so rebuilds and parity calculations run without interrupting I/O. Four 1 GbE ports on the NDC daughter card provide steady network throughput for long-running services.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules must I already have to fill the 24 DIMM slots on this R730?

The server has 24 DIMM slots and supports DDR4 modules of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB running up to 2400MT/s, with actual speed depending on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor capability.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS drives work with the H330 12Gbps RAID controller in this R730?

Yes, the H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives; the eight installed 300GB 15K SAS drives run at 6Gbps and are fully compatible with the 12Gbps controller.

How can I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is working after I power on the server?

Connect the iDRAC network port, power on the server, and access the iDRAC8 web interface via its IP address; the Lifecycle Controller dashboard will show hardware inventory, firmware versions and system health status.
