Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 600 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

This server fits teams running virtualised workloads that benefit from up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA bays and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need a second CPU populated, more than 8 GB of memory pre-installed, or 10 GbE networking included should evaluate other configurations. The single-socket layout also limits maximum memory capacity to the single-processor ceiling.

PERC H330 RAID controller with 12 Gbps SAS

The installed PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 3.5-inch drive bays. This determines both the maximum array performance and the drive types you can add later. If your workload demands a different RAID feature set or non-SAS storage interfaces, the controller choice makes this chassis unsuitable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second processor in the R730, and what step is often missed?

Fit the second Xeon into socket 2, then populate its 12 DIMM slots with matching DDR4 modules; the step often missed is adding memory for the new CPU so the system can POST.

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

The two 600 GB 15K SAS drives and the dual 750 W redundant power supplies are the moving or high-stress parts most likely to require replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when the R730 runs sustained heavy workloads?

The dual 750 W redundant power supplies set the hard power ceiling; sustained loads that approach their combined output will trigger throttling or shutdown before other limits are reached.
