Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suited for small business workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need redundant power, hardware RAID across SAS drives and room to grow memory up to 384 GB or storage up to 80 TB. Buyers who want more storage bays than the eight 3.5 inch hot-plug slots, or who require additional processors beyond the single socket populated, should look at larger chassis options.

Single Xeon E5-2630 V3

The installed processor delivers eight physical cores and sixteen threads via hyper-threading at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz. This CPU choice determines the maximum memory speed of 2400 MT/s and the PCIe lane budget for the three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0 expansion slots available in the system.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H730 12Gbps controller support?

The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide?

The chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

How do I add a second processor, and what step is often missed?

Install the second CPU in the empty socket, populate its six DIMM slots, and enable the second processor in the BIOS or iDRAC — skipping the enable step leaves the new CPU idle.
