2U Rack Server With Xeon 10-Core

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 processor with ten cores at 2.3GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 controller. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation in datacentre racks.

Suited For Virtualisation Hosts Not

This configuration suits organisations that need a reliable virtualisation host with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room to expand memory across twelve DIMM slots up to 384GB. Buyers who require more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays or who need support for more than two processors should consider larger chassis designs.

PERC H730 RAID Controller With 1GB Cache

The installed PERC H730 provides 1GB of cache and 12Gbps SAS connectivity, enabling the listed RAID levels and managing the two 300GB 15K drives. This controller determines the storage performance and data-protection options available without adding a separate card.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules can I add later to reach the 384 GB maximum?

The board has 12 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules at up to 2400 MT/s, with actual speed depending on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor.

Which component will limit sustained throughput first — the PERC H730 RAID controller or the 15 K SAS drives?

Two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives in a RAID array will hit their combined sequential and random I/O ceiling before the H730 12 Gbps controller reaches its limit.

How loud and hot does the R530 get when both 750 W redundant supplies run continuously?

Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays mean the 2U chassis relies on high-speed internal fans; expect noticeable fan noise and significant heat output under 24/7 load.
