Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre deployment. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache support RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits single-socket workloads with moderate memory

This server fits environments that need a single-socket Xeon platform with room to grow to a second processor and up to 384 GB of RAM. Buyers who require dual processors installed from the start or who need more than 16 GB of memory out of the box should consider a different configuration. The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives for flexible storage scaling.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays with SAS RAID

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays wired to the Perc H730 controller, which delivers 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 600 GB 15K SAS drives are included, leaving six bays free for expansion up to 80 TB total raw capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.6 GHz Xeon E5-2603 V3 work with my existing DDR4-2400 ECC modules?

The installed processor supports DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s, so compatible ECC RDIMMs will run at their rated speed.

How can I confirm the H730 RAID controller sees both 600 GB SAS drives after first boot?

Open the H730 BIOS utility during POST; it will list each 15K 6 Gbps drive and show the virtual disk status.

Does the shipment include the sliding rail kit and bezel for a 2U rack?

The box contains the server, power cables and a DVD drive; the rail kit and bezel are not included and must be purchased separately.
