Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes three 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management suit small-business virtualization or file-serving workloads.

Before ordering

Verify the rack provides 2U of vertical space and front-to-back airflow for hot-plug drive bays. Confirm the SAS backplane and H730 controller match your desired RAID level among 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. The system ships without an operating system, so have installation media ready. Buyers who want more storage than the three included drives provide should plan to populate up to five additional 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.

Build quality and connectors

The chassis uses hot-plug drive carriers and redundant power modules that can be swapped without tools or downtime. Four onboard 1 GbE ports on the daughter card handle baseline networking while up to five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — accept extra controllers. A DVD-ROM drive and Matrox G200eR2 video with 8 MB cache cover basic media and console needs. Rail kit inclusion simplifies rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the R530 ship with rails and cables, or must I order them separately?

The listing includes a power cable and a rail kit; drives and the H730 controller are already installed, so nothing else is required to rack the server.

Should I choose the single E5-2630 v3 or add a second processor for my workload?

The board supports two Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs; adding the second doubles cores to 16 physical and 32 threads and unlocks the remaining six DIMM slots for up to 384 GB total memory.

What usable capacity and speed will the three 4 TB SAS drives give me behind the H730?

In RAID 5 the array yields roughly 8 TB usable at 7.2 K rpm spindle speed; the H730 12 Gbps controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 so you can trade capacity for redundancy as needed.
