Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6 GHz and 32 GB DDR4 memory handle virtualisation, database and file workloads. An H730 RAID controller manages up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with redundant 750 W power supplies.

Fit for virtualisation hosts and storage arrays

Organisations needing a compact rack platform with hardware RAID and room for drive growth will find this model suitable. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of memory out of the box or who need PCIe 4.0 slots for modern accelerators should consider other platforms.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32 GB

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 and the specification lists a maximum capacity of 32 GB across twelve DIMM slots. This limit means the server cannot be expanded beyond the installed amount, so confirm the workload fits within that boundary before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack hardware must I already have to install this 2U server?

The unit fits a standard 2U rack space and includes a rail kit for mounting. Two 750 W redundant power supplies are built in, each needing a PDU outlet.

Can I keep using my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives in the remaining drive bays?

Yes. The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, and the H730 controller supports 6 Gbps SAS. The two installed 300 GB 15K drives occupy two bays, leaving six open.

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

During POST the H730 initialises and displays its firmware version. In the iDRAC8 web interface the storage tab shows the controller status, the two 300 GB drives, and the configured RAID level.
