Dell PowerEdge FC830 blade chassis

The Dell PowerEdge FC830 is a full-width blade server chassis designed for the FX2 and FX2S converged infrastructure platforms. It provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and an integrated H730 RAID controller, targeting data-centre deployments that require dense compute and shared storage in a single rack footprint.

Suited for FX2 or FX2S rack environments

This chassis fits organisations already running Dell FX2 or FX2S enclosures that need additional compute sleds with local RAID capability. It is not suitable for standalone rack-mount use, for workloads requiring pre-installed memory or drives, or for teams lacking the FX2/FX2S enclosure and power infrastructure.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with H730 RAID

The single specification that determines fit is the combination of eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the H730 RAID controller, which together define the local storage capacity and redundancy available inside each compute sled.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

The iDRAC8 Express remote-management interface reports controller status, firmware version and drive health without needing a local console.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately for the FC830 chassis?

The unit ships with four heatsinks, a Broadcom 5720 1Gb quad-port NDC and the H730 RAID controller; memory modules, 2.5" drives, drive trays and PCIe cards are not included.

How do I decide between the FX2 and FX2S versions of this 830 chassis?

Both share the same 8x 2.5" bay layout and up to 8 PCIe 3.0 low-profile slots; choose FX2S when you need the updated sled design for newer compute nodes.
