Rack Server for Virtualisation

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 with 48 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller and dual 750 W redundant power supplies.

Suited for Small Business Consolidation.

This configuration fits organisations consolidating legacy applications, virtualising light workloads or running entry-level databases that benefit from fast 15 K spindles. Buyers needing more than 48 GB of memory, additional CPU sockets or all-flash storage should evaluate other platforms.

Memory Ceiling Fixed at 48 GB

The system arrives with 48 GB installed across 12 DIMM slots and the supplier data lists maximum capacity as 48 GB, so no further memory upgrades are possible without changing the platform.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy DDR4 memory modules to expand beyond the installed 48 GB?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 DIMMs only; the 12 slots accept 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules up to a total of 384 GB.

Will my existing 3.5" SATA drives work in the hot-plug bays alongside the two 300 GB 15K SAS drives?

The eight 3.5" hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, so SATA drives can be added to the same enclosure.

How can I confirm the H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

Check the iDRAC8 interface or the controller BIOS during POST; both show the H730 firmware version, battery status and the configured RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 virtual disks.
