Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for organisations that need a compact, dual-socket platform. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. Storage is handled by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, driving two 300 GB 15K SAS drives in hot-plug bays.

Suits buyers who need dual-socket compute

This server fits workloads that benefit from two processors and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays support SAS or SATA drives up to 80 TB total capacity. Buyers who need more than two installed CPUs or who require a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed PERC H730 provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It governs the two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and any additional disks added to the eight-bay chassis. Confirm that your workload matches these RAID levels and the SAS interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit do I need to mount this 2U server?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and a rail kit is listed among the included peripherals.

Can I add more drives later using the existing H730 controller?

Yes, the chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and the H730 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How can I verify the iDRAC8 remote management is working after setup?

Connect the dedicated management port, browse to the iDRAC8 IP address and confirm the Lifecycle Controller dashboard loads and shows both CPUs, all 16 GB of DDR4 memory and the two 300 GB SAS drives.
