2U Rack Server for Virtualisation Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack-mount server system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 24GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, leaving room for expansion up to the platform maximum. This configuration targets organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes, or internal application servers that benefit from hot-plug drive bays and redundant power.

Hot-Plug Bays and Redundant Power Supplies

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives, allowing failed disks to be swapped without downtime. Three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives are pre-installed behind a PERC H730 controller with 1GB cache, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, while the included rail kit simplifies rack installation.

PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 2 Expansion Limits

The chassis provides five PCIe slots: three wired for PCIe 3.0 and two for PCIe 2.0, which constrains the bandwidth available to additional network cards, GPU accelerators or storage controllers. Network connectivity defaults to a four-port 1GbE daughter card, and remote management relies on iDRAC8 Express with optional Enterprise upgrades. Maximum memory capacity is capped at 384GB when a second processor is added.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support and what does that limit the 4 TB drives to?

The H730 controller runs at 12 Gbps SAS, but the installed 4 TB drives are 6 Gbps models, so the array operates at the lower 6 Gbps rate.

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide and what is the maximum raw capacity?

The chassis has 8 hot-plug 3.5-inch bays with a maximum raw capacity of 80 TB.

How is the H730 RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 plugs into a dedicated internal storage slot; the step often missed is connecting its 1 GB cache module and enabling the battery-backed write cache in the controller BIOS before creating virtual disks.
