Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 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 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays complete the chassis.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads.

The eight-bay chassis and SAS drives make this server a fit for file storage, backup repositories or archive workloads that benefit from the H730 controller's RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of installed memory or a second processor should look elsewhere, as the current configuration includes only one CPU and the memory slots are populated to the listed 16 GB.

Single Xeon E5-2630 v3 limits total memory to 384 GB

The installed processor supports a maximum of 384 GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots, with speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on CPU capability. This ceiling is set by the single E5-2630 v3; adding a second compatible processor would raise the limit, but that CPU is not included.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support and what does that limit in practice?

The H730 controller runs at 12 Gbps, so the installed 6 Gbps SAS drives will operate at their native 6 Gbps speed rather than the controller's maximum.

What rail clearance and depth does the 2U chassis require for mounting?

The server is 25.4 inches deep and 3.4 inches high, so the rack must provide at least 25.4 inches of usable depth and a 2U (3.5 inch) vertical slot.

How is the H730 RAID controller installed and which step is commonly missed?

The H730 plugs into a dedicated internal storage slot; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller before powering on.
