2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management make it suited to small business virtualisation and database workloads.

Check CPU socket count and memory ceiling

The system board supports a maximum of two processors but only one is installed, leaving the second socket available for an upgrade. Memory is limited to 16GB by the supplied configuration although the platform accepts up to 384GB across twelve DIMM slots when both CPUs are populated. Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and that SAS backplane cabling matches the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays before ordering.

H730 controller and iDRAC8 change daily ops

The PERC H730 adds hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 12Gbps throughput, letting the two installed drives run in a mirrored set or be expanded later. iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band console access and lifecycle firmware updates without an operating system, while the optional Enterprise licence unlocks virtual media and 8GB or 16GB vFlash storage for faster deployments.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2630 V3 processor, 16 GB DDR4, two 2 TB 3.5-inch SAS drives, H730 1 GB RAID controller, DVD drive, two 750 W redundant power supplies, power cable, rails and iDRAC8 Express. No operating system is included.

Should I choose the single-CPU or dual-CPU version for more memory?

The chassis has 12 DIMM slots, six per processor. With one CPU installed only six slots are usable, so maximum memory is lower; adding the second processor enables all 12 slots and supports up to 384 GB total.

What does the 2.4 GHz figure mean for real workloads?

The E5-2630 V3 runs at 2.4 GHz base frequency with eight cores and 16 threads via hyper-threading, delivering multi-threaded performance suited to virtualisation, databases and general-purpose server tasks.
