Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for businesses that need dense compute in a standard cabinet. Dual eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz deliver 32 logical threads for virtualization, database or application workloads. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory are installed across twelve DIMM slots, leaving room to grow. Redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure.

H730 RAID controller with eight 3.5" bays

The integrated Perc H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS connectivity, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight hot-plug 3.5" drive bays. Maximum raw capacity reaches 80 TB with large-capacity SAS or SATA drives. This controller choice determines whether the chassis can meet a given IOPS or redundancy target without adding a separate HBA.

Sustained load on dual 750 W supplies

Under continuous multi-threaded load both Xeon CPUs and the H730 draw steady power from the redundant 750 W units, which share the load and allow hot replacement without downtime. The 2U airflow path cools processors, memory and drive bays without throttling during extended compute or rebuild operations. Remote management via iDRAC8 lets administrators monitor thermals and power draw in real time.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.4 GHz clock on the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs mean once the server is running a real workload?

Each of the two processors has eight cores at 2.4 GHz, giving sixteen physical cores and thirty-two threads with Hyper-Threading for parallel workloads.

The H730 controller is described as 12 Gbps; what does that cap in practice?

The 12 Gbps SAS link sets the maximum throughput between the controller and each drive, while RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 is handled on the card's 1 GB cache.

What does the 2U rack height and 25.4-inch depth require for mounting?

The chassis occupies two rack units and needs a cabinet at least 25.4 inches deep plus the included rail kit for secure installation.
