Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives occupy two of the eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies are fitted.

Suits dense storage workloads needing SAS

This server fits teams that want up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drives behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The twelve DIMM slots allow memory growth to 384 GB when larger DDR4 modules are added. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 slots should consider other platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays with H730 RAID

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays wired to the H730 controller, which delivers 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and 1 GB of write-back cache. This bay count and controller combination determines how many spinning drives or SATA SSDs can be added without extra hardware.

Questions about this item

With two E5-2630 V3 CPUs at 2.4 GHz, how many logical threads does the server present to the operating system?

Each eight-core Xeon supports hyper-threading, so the dual-socket configuration delivers 32 logical threads in total.

The H730 controller is listed as 12 Gbps — what drive speeds does that actually allow in this chassis?

The backplane supports 6 Gbps SAS and SATA, so the 12 Gbps controller will negotiate down to 6 Gbps with the installed 3.5-inch drives.

The spec says 2U — what rack depth and rail clearance should I plan for?

The chassis measures 25.4 inches deep and 17.1 inches wide; allow at least that depth plus cable bend radius behind the rear posts.
