Rack Server for Virtualised Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single ten-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. The platform suits small-to-medium businesses consolidating virtual machines or hosting database instances where hot-plug drive bays and redundant power matter.

SAS Interface and PCIe Generation Limits

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives connected through the H730 controller at 12 Gbps. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, but the backplane and drives operate at 6 Gbps. Expansion slots provide three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0 lanes, so newer accelerators or network cards will negotiate down to the slower generation when placed in the 2.0 slots.

Memory and Storage Headroom

Installed memory reaches the per-processor maximum of 48 GB across six DIMM slots; adding a second processor would raise the system ceiling to 384 GB using all twelve slots. Drive bays can hold up to 80 TB of raw capacity, though the supplied 300 GB 15K spindles favour IOPS over volume. The 750 W redundant supplies handle the current configuration, but heavily populated bays and a second CPU will increase draw.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 48GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to 384GB?

The server ships with 48GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots (6 per processor). You can expand to 384GB using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s, actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2650 V3 capability.

What does the ten-core 2.3GHz Xeon E5-2650 V3 deliver in this 2U rack server?

The single E5-2650 V3 provides 10 physical cores at 2.3GHz with 20 virtual threads via hyper-threading, running on the Intel C610 chipset. A second processor socket is available for dual-CPU upgrades if workloads demand more compute capacity.

How does the H730 12Gbps RAID controller affect the 300GB 15K SAS drives and future expansion?

The PERC H730 with 1GB cache runs the two 300GB 15K 6Gbps SAS drives at their native 6Gbps link speed; the controller’s 12Gbps SAS interface supports up to 8 hot-plug 3.5″ bays and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for larger SAS or SATA drive sets.
