Dell PowerEdge R530 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD-ROM drive. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide resiliency for continuous operation.

Suits storage-heavy tasks with room to grow

This configuration suits buyers who need a rack server with hardware RAID and multiple drive bays for SAS storage. The installed Perc H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives. Organisations that require more than two processors, more than 48GB of installed memory, or additional PCIe expansion beyond five slots should evaluate a larger platform.

Perc H730 1GB 12Gbps RAID controller

The storage controller is a Dell Perc H730 with 1GB cache and a 12Gbps SAS interface. It manages the three installed 4TB drives and any additional SAS or SATA drives up to the 80TB maximum raw capacity. The controller dictates which RAID levels are available and the total number of drives the array can address, making it the decisive component for storage planning.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the H730 RAID controller is managing the three 4 TB SAS drives correctly after setup?

Open the H730 BIOS utility or iDRAC8 interface during boot, verify all three 4 TB drives appear in the array, check that the configured RAID level shows optimal status, and ensure the logical drive reports the expected capacity.

Which items ship with the server and which must be purchased separately?

The server includes one E5-2603 v3 processor, 48 GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, three 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives, H730 1 GB RAID controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD drive, power cable, and Matrox G200eR2 video; rail kit, bezel, mouse, keyboard, video cable, and a second processor are not included.

Should I choose the single-processor 48 GB configuration or add a second CPU and more memory?

The board supports up to two Xeon processors and 384 GB total DDR4 across 12 slots; keep the single E5-2603 v3 and 48 GB for light workloads, or add a second identical CPU and populate remaining DIMM slots with 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB modules for heavier multi-threaded tasks.
