8-bay 3.5-inch rack server with Xeon E5-2640 v3

This Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack-mount server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processor at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays served by a PERC H730 SAS controller and includes dual 495 W power supplies plus iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management. The unit ships without drives so storage can be added to order.

Suits single-socket workloads needing large

The single-socket configuration and eight large-form-factor bays make it a fit for archive storage, backup targets or virtualisation hosts that prioritise capacity over maximum compute density. Buyers who need both processor sockets populated, 2.5-inch bay density or a GPU-ready chassis should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 SAS controller with eight 3.5-inch bays

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, defining the storage topology this server can support. Confirm that your drive count, RAID level and throughput requirements match this controller before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What rack depth is needed for the 36-inch Dell PowerEdge R730 chassis?

The server measures 36 inches deep, so a rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth is required for the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis.

How is the PERC H730 RAID controller connected to the backplane during installation?

The H730 plugs into the dedicated internal PCIe slot and two mini-SAS cables link it to the 8-drive 3.5-inch backplane; the step often missed is seating both cables fully before powering on.

When will the 495-watt redundant power supplies need replacement?

The dual 495W units are hot-swap rated; replace a module when iDRAC8 reports a fault or the amber LED lights, typically after several years of continuous operation.
