Dual Xeon 10-core server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz. Forty logical threads and 96 GB of DDR4 memory support multiple virtual machines or database workloads. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and an H330 RAID controller deliver low-latency local storage. The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays for future expansion.

Redundant 750 W supplies and managed cooling

Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide N+1 redundancy, keeping the system running if one unit fails. The 2U form factor allows front-to-rear airflow tuned for the installed CPUs and memory population. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller monitors temperatures, fan speeds and power draw remotely, letting administrators adjust thermal profiles without physical access. Acoustic output remains within typical data-centre limits for a rack-mounted server of this class.

H330 RAID and iDRAC8 remote management

The bundled PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, enabling redundancy or performance tuning across the SAS or SATA drives you install. iDRAC8 Express is included for out-of-band console redirection, virtual media and firmware updates; Enterprise licences and vFlash media are optional upgrades. A DVD-ROM drive and power cable ship with the unit; rail kit and bezel are not confirmed in the supplied data. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5-inch SAS drives into the hot-plug bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each 300GB 15K SAS drive into one of the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays until the carrier clicks, then use the PERC H330 controller BIOS or iDRAC8 to create a virtual disk before the OS sees any volume.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?

The two 750W redundant power supplies and the 15K RPM SAS drives are the primary mechanical parts that wear out; the DDR4 DIMMs and system fans are solid-state and rarely require replacement.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon 10-core CPUs run at 2.3GHz continuously?

The 750W redundant power supply rating and the 2U chassis airflow capacity constrain sustained dual-CPU load before the DDR4 memory or H330 controller reach their limits.
