Dual Xeon Rack Server for Virtualisation Hosts

The Dell PowerEdge R530 fits in 2U of rack space and ships with two eight-core Xeon E5-2630 V3 processors running at 2.4 GHz. Ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory fill all twelve DIMM slots, and the Perc H330 controller manages two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives in a choice of RAID levels. Four 1 GbE ports and iDRAC8 remote management come as standard.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, while the 2U chassis provides airflow for continuous operation. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so rebuilds and parity calculations proceed without taking the array offline. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed CPUs, giving predictable throughput for long-running workloads.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your rack can accept a 2U unit measuring 25.4 inches deep and 17.1 inches wide, and that the 62 lb weight is within the rack's load rating. Confirm the PDU delivers the correct voltage for dual 750 W supplies and that SAS cabling matches the eight 3.5 inch hot-plug bays. The board offers three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0 slots; ensure any add-in cards fit those generations and the available bracket space.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power draw should I expect from the dual 750 W redundant supplies running 24/7?

The server includes two 750 W hot-swap power supplies for redundancy; actual draw depends on workload but each supply can deliver up to 750 W.

Which rails and cables must I already have to mount and power this 2U rack unit?

The unit ships with a power cable; a compatible rail kit for a 2U rack is required but not included.

Can the H330 controller and 3.5" bays use my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives alongside the installed 15K disks?

Yes, the H330 supports 6 Gbps SAS and SATA, and the eight 3.5" hot-plug bays accept both drive types.
