DELL PowerEdge R730 2U Rack Server E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 64GB DDR4 H330

Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 64 GB of DDR4 memory installed. It supports a second processor and up to 1,536 GB of total memory across 24 DIMM slots, making it suitable for organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases. The H330 12 Gbps RAID controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

Sustained compute with redundant power

Under continuous load the dual 750 W redundant power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails, preventing unexpected shutdowns during long batch jobs or backup windows. The Xeon E5-2630v3 delivers 16 logical threads through hyper-threading, allowing steady throughput for multi-threaded applications such as ERP systems or virtual desktop infrastructure. Seven PCIe 3.0 slots plus a dedicated PERC slot remain available for additional network or storage controllers as demand grows.

Managed thermals and remote oversight

The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across the processors, memory and drive bays, keeping component temperatures stable during extended operation while fans adjust speed to match thermal demand. An integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band management, remote console access and hardware monitoring without requiring an operating system. The Matrox G200eR2 graphics controller with 8 MB cache handles basic video output for local console use.
