2U rack server for dense workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drives in a 2U rack form factor. A single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 with ten cores at 2.3 GHz and 24 GB of DDR4 memory powers virtualisation, database or file-serving tasks. Dual 750 W redundant supplies keep the platform running if one unit fails. The PERC H730 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS or SATA media.

Sustained throughput with 15 K SAS spindles

Two factory-installed 600 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver consistent random I/O under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. The H730's 1 GB cache absorbs write spikes while the 12 Gbps controller link prevents the bus from becoming the bottleneck. Twelve DIMM slots allow memory to scale to 384 GB when the second processor is added, keeping large working sets in DDR4 instead of paging to disk. Four 1 GbE ports on the daughter card sustain network throughput for multi-client access.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power simplify daily ops

Eight front-accessible 3.5-inch bays let technicians swap drives without tools or downtime. The 2U chassis slides into standard racks and includes a DVD-ROM for legacy media installation. Five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — accommodate additional NICs, HBAs or GPU accelerators as needs grow. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, remote console and firmware updates from a single browser interface. Matrox G200eR2 graphics supply basic video for local troubleshooting.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R530 get with its dual 750W redundant supplies running 24/7?

The server uses two 750W hot-swap power supplies in a 2U chassis with eight 3.5-inch drive bays; fan speed scales with CPU and drive load, so sustained operation will produce typical rack-level noise and heat for this class.

What cabling and rails do I already need to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

The unit includes a power cable; you must supply a compatible rail kit for the 25.4-inch depth and network cables for the four 1GbE ports on the daughter card.

Can I keep using my existing 6Gbps SAS drives and PCIe 2.0 cards alongside the H730 controller and newer slots?

Yes — the backplane accepts 6Gbps SAS or SATA drives, the H730 supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, and the chassis provides two PCIe 2.0 slots plus three PCIe 3.0 slots for older expansion cards.
