Dell PowerEdge R730 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives on a PERC H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are fitted.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack can accept a 2U chassis measuring 26.8 inches deep and 17.44 inches wide. Confirm the SAS backplane matches the 3.5 inch hot-plug bays and that your network infrastructure supports the included 4 x 1 GbE daughter card. Ensure DDR4 modules are used for any memory expansion across the 24 DIMM slots.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Dual 750 W redundant supplies share the load, reducing stress on each unit during normal operation. The 2U form factor relies on high-speed internal fans to cool the CPU, memory and drive bays, so expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room. Power consumption will vary with workload and any additional PCIe cards installed.
