Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for large memory footprints.

Expands from single-socket starter

A second Xeon can be added to double core count and unlock the remaining 12 memory slots. The PERC H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA bays. Two 900 GB 10K SAS drives are installed, leaving six bays open for capacity growth.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

Organisations needing a compact 2U platform with redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management will find it a fit. Buyers who want more storage than eight 2.5-inch bays allow, or who require 10 GbE networking without adding a daughter card, should look at larger chassis options.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and height does the 2U R730 require?

The server is 2U high and 26.8 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least 2U of vertical space and a cabinet depth that accommodates 26.8 inches plus cable clearance.

How are the 2.5-inch SAS drives installed in the hot-plug bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into an empty front bay until the latch clicks, then verify in the H330 RAID utility that the new drive appears and is assigned to the desired virtual disk.

When will the 750W redundant power supplies or the 8GB DDR4 DIMMs need replacement?

Replace a power supply if the front-panel LED shows a fault or iDRAC8 reports a PSU error; replace DIMMs if memory diagnostics report correctable errors that exceed the platform threshold.
