Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. This configuration targets organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute in standard rack cabinets.

Thermals and power draw

Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies deliver N+1 resilience while sharing load during normal operation. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow across the processor, memory and drive bays to maintain thermal limits without exotic cooling. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and component utilisation, keeping acoustic output appropriate for a data-centre aisle rather than an office desk.

Build integration

Eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA media, allowing capacity to scale to 64 TB raw storage. Seven PCIe 3.0 expansion slots plus a dedicated PERC slot support additional networking, GPU or storage adapters. The iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band management over a dedicated 1 GbE port, while the four-port 1 GbE daughter card handles production traffic. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server in a rack and which step is often missed?

Mount the 2U chassis using the included rails, then seat both 750 W redundant power supplies and connect each to a separate PDU — the step most often missed is wiring the second supply to a different circuit.

What maintenance or replacement will the server need later?

The H330 RAID controller uses a lithium coin cell to preserve cache; plan to replace that battery every three to five years to avoid losing write-back data during a power loss.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy workloads?

With a single E5-2650 v3 installed, the 16 GB DDR4 memory ceiling is reached long before the 24 DIMM slots or the 64 TB drive capacity become constraints.
