2U rack server for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays into a 2U chassis, delivering up to 80TB of raw capacity. A single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz and 8GB of DDR4 memory handle file, backup or archive duties. Dual 750W redundant power supplies keep the platform running through a module failure. The PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA drives.

Sustained throughput with twelve DIMM slots

Twelve DDR4 slots (six per processor) allow memory to grow to 384GB when a second CPU is added, reducing swapping during long backup windows or database scans. The H730's 12Gbps SAS interface feeds the two 300GB 15K drives and any additional spindles without controller bottlenecks. Five PCIe slots (three at 3.0, two at 2.0) accept extra NICs, HBA cards or GPU accelerators for compute-heavy pipelines. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates without host OS involvement.

Redundant cooling and power in a 62-pound chassis

Dual 750W hot-swap power supplies share load evenly, so each unit operates well below its thermal limit during normal operation. System fans ramp based on inlet temperature and component sensors, keeping acoustic output predictable in a rack row. The Matrox G200eR2 video subsystem draws minimal power for console access. Four onboard 1GbE ports handle management and data traffic without extra adapters. No operating system is included, allowing immediate installation of the preferred hypervisor or bare-metal OS.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 2U rack server with two 750W redundant power supplies produce when running continuously?

The system uses dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies; fan speed scales with thermal load from the E5-2603 V3 six-core 1.6GHz CPU and 300GB 15K SAS drives, so sustained operation keeps airflow matched to component temperature.

What rack, cabling and operating system must I already have to install this PowerEdge R530 with 8GB DDR4 and H730 controller?

You need a 2U rack space, power cables for the two 750W supplies, SAS cables for the 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, and your own OS licence because none is included.

Will the four 1GbE ports and PCIe 3.0 slots on this R530 work with my older 1Gb switches and PCIe 2.0 cards?

The daughter card provides four 1GbE links compatible with existing 1Gb switches, and the chassis offers three PCIe 3.0 plus two PCIe 2.0 slots that accept legacy PCIe 2.0 cards.
