2U rack server for small-scale workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz. It ships with 24GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. The platform targets businesses that need a compact, entry-level system for file serving, virtualization or light database tasks.

Hot-plug drive bays and redundant power

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the H730 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Two 750W hot-swap power supplies provide N+1 redundancy so a supply can be replaced without downtime. A DVD-ROM drive and an iDRAC8 remote-management module are also fitted, while five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — remain available for expansion cards.

Efficient cooling in a 2U chassis

The 2U form factor allows front-to-rear airflow across the processor, memory and drive cage, keeping thermals stable under typical loads. Redundant fans adjust speed based on inlet temperature, so acoustic output stays low in office-adjacent rack rows. Dual 750W supplies share the load, reducing per-unit stress and improving overall power efficiency during continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H730 12Gbps controller support?

The Dell Perc H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.

What are the dimensions and weight for rack planning?

The 2U chassis measures 25.4 by 17.1 by 3.4 inches and weighs 62 lbs; rails and bezel are not included.

How do you access the drives and what cabling is required?

Drives are front-accessible hot-plug trays; the H730 connects to the backplane internally, so no external cabling is needed for the eight bays.
