Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, each with eight cores at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the platform.

IT teams needing dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage

This server suits workloads that benefit from up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Organisations requiring more than 16 GB of installed memory, GPU compute, or 25 GbE networking should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The PERC H730 provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 1 GB non-volatile cache accelerates write performance and protects data during power loss. This controller determines the RAID capability and drive throughput of the system.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation limits the H730 RAID controller's throughput in this R530?

The H730 controller connects through PCIe 3.0 slots, so its 12 Gbps SAS links are capped by the 3.0 lane bandwidth available in the chassis.

What physical clearance does the 2U R530 chassis require for rail mounting?

The server measures 25.4 inches deep, 17.1 inches wide and 3.4 inches high, so rails must support at least that depth and a 2U rack opening.

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

Seat the H730 in a PCIe 3.0 slot, connect its internal SAS cables to the backplane, then use the iDRAC8 or BIOS utility to create virtual disks before the OS sees any storage.
