2U rack server for dense workloads

The PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor at 2.3GHz with 8GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with two 600GB 15K SAS drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller and supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management suit small-to-medium database or virtualization tasks.

Tool-less drive bays and rail kit simplify setup

Eight hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives without tools and the included rail kit secures the 2U chassis in standard racks. The PERC H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; configure the array before loading data to avoid rebuild delays. Memory installs in matched sets across twelve DIMM slots, six per processor, so populate evenly when expanding beyond the factory 8GB.

PCIe 3.0 lanes and SAS 6Gbps cap throughput

Five PCIe slots provide three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0 connections for additional NICs, HBAs or GPUs, but total bandwidth is shared with the chipset. The onboard SAS backplane runs at 6Gbps, limiting sequential throughput on the 15K drives, and the single 1GbE daughter card restricts network-heavy clusters. Maximum memory reaches 384GB with two processors installed; single-CPU configurations halve that ceiling.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730 controller and both 600GB 15K SAS drives are recognised after first boot?

Enter the H730 RAID BIOS during POST or open the iDRAC8 web interface; both drives should appear as ready and the virtual disk status must show optimal.

Which components ship with the server and what must I source separately?

Included: single E5-2650 v3, 8GB DDR4, two 600GB 15K SAS drives, H730 1GB cache controller, dual 750W redundant PSUs, DVD drive, power cable and rail kit. Operating system and additional memory or drives are not included.

Should I choose the single-processor 8GB configuration or add a second CPU and more memory?

The board supports two Xeon processors and 12 DIMM slots for up to 384GB total. Add the second CPU and matched DDR4 modules if your workloads need more than 10 cores or 8GB of RAM.
