Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. Three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives are pre-installed behind a PERC H730 RAID controller that supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Best fit and limits

The system suits departments that need dense 3.5-inch SAS storage with hardware RAID and redundant power in a compact 2U form factor. It is less suitable for buyers who require more than one CPU socket populated, who need 2.5-inch or solid-state drive bays, or who want a GPU-ready chassis with additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the three provided.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is fixed at 48 GB because the single processor limits the twelve DDR4 slots to a maximum of 48 GB; adding a second Xeon would raise the platform ceiling to 384 GB but that processor is not included.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R530 chassis provide for these SAS drives?

The 2U rack chassis supports up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA bays, so the three installed 4 TB drives leave five bays free for expansion.

What is the correct DIMM population order when adding memory to the single E5-2650 V3 processor?

Fill the six slots belonging to CPU 1 first, using identical DDR4 modules up to 32 GB each, before adding a second processor and its six slots.

Which component should be monitored for the BBU or flash module that protects the H730 RAID cache?

The PERC H730 controller uses a 1 GB non-volatile cache backed by a battery or flash module; iDRAC8 will alert when that module reaches end of life and needs replacement.
