Ready-to-rack 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 arrives as a 2U rackmount system with redundant hot-swap power supplies. A single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor runs at 1.6 GHz and the board holds 16 GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots. Three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives are pre-installed behind the H330 RAID controller.

Suits cold-storage and lab workloads

Buyers who need a dense 3.5-inch bay count for archival or test data will find eight hot-plug bays and RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 support. The single-socket configuration and 16 GB memory ceiling rule out buyers who want more compute threads or larger in-memory datasets without adding a second processor and populating empty DIMM slots.

H330 controller and drives define storage posture

The bundled Perc H330 12 Gbps RAID card manages the three 4 TB SAS disks and any additional SATA or SAS drives added to the remaining five bays. No operating system is included so the installer chooses the hypervisor or OS. A DVD-ROM drive and Matrox G200eR2 video are present for local media and console access.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5" drive bays must be free in my rack for the three installed 4TB SAS drives?

The R530 chassis provides up to eight 3.5" hot-plug bays; three are occupied by the supplied 4TB 7.2K SAS drives, leaving five bays available.

Will my existing SATA hard drives work with the H330 controller in this server?

Yes, the eight 3.5" hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, and the H330 12Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across mixed drive types.

How can I confirm the H330 RAID controller sees all three 4TB drives after first boot?

Enter the controller BIOS during POST or open the iDRAC8 web interface; both will list each 4TB SAS drive and show the configured RAID volume status.
