Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. The platform suits businesses that need dense storage and virtualisation capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Build and connectivity

Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running during a module failure. Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives, allowing storage changes without downtime. Expansion includes three PCIe 3.0 slots and two PCIe 2.0 slots, while a daughter card provides four 1 GbE network ports for baseline connectivity.

Thermals and power

Redundant power supplies share the load, reducing stress on each unit during normal operation. The 2U chassis directs airflow across the processor, memory and drive bays to maintain stable temperatures under typical workloads. Fan speed scales with thermal demand, so acoustic output rises only when the system is heavily utilised.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support and what does that cap the drive throughput at?

The H730 is a 12Gbps SAS controller, so each 6Gbps drive runs at its native 6Gbps limit rather than the controller ceiling.

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 2U chassis require?

The server is 25.4 inches deep and 3.4 inches high; standard square-hole rails for a 2U rackmount will accommodate it.

How is the H730 RAID controller installed and which step is commonly missed?

The H730 ships pre-installed in a dedicated slot; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the controller BIOS before installing an OS.
