Product identity

This is a Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory, two 1 TB 7.2K SATA enterprise drives, and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suitability

The platform suits buyers who need a dense 2U chassis with eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, and PCIe 3.0 expansion up to seven slots. It is not for buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory installed, who require more than two 1 TB SATA drives out of the box, or who depend on a second CPU socket being populated at delivery.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is fixed at 8 GB despite the presence of 24 DIMM slots, so any workload that cannot run in that footprint will require an immediate memory upgrade before the server enters production.

Highlights

  • Ten-core Xeon delivers 20 virtual threads for parallel workloads
  • H730 RAID controller supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • Dual 750W redundant supplies keep the server running during a power-module failure
  • Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays allow drive swaps without downtime
  • 24 DDR4 DIMM slots scale memory up to 1536GB

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 controller initialises and reports its firmware version; the iDRAC8 dashboard then shows both 1 TB drives as Online with the chosen RAID level and no critical alerts.

What ships with the server and what must be sourced separately?

The unit includes the chassis, one E5-2650v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, two 1 TB 3.5" SATA drives in hot-plug trays, the H730 RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, a DVD-ROM drive and the iDRAC8 Express module; rails, additional processors, extra memory, drives or an OS are not included.

Which memory capacity should I select for this configuration?

The server has 24 DDR4 slots and currently holds 8 GB; choose 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s to reach the 1536 GB maximum supported by the dual-processor design.
