• Dell PowerEdge R330 PN: R330 – Affordable 1U Rack Server with Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v6

    Description

    The [Dell PowerEdge R330](#Dell PowerEdge R330) is a versatile 1U rack server built for small-to-medium business (SMB) and remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments, delivering balanced performance and mid-range scalability. Dell Its single-socket design leverages the Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v6 processor family—providing up to four cores and turbo speeds for agile application responsiveness. 

    Equipped with four DDR4 UDIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB at 2400 MT/s, it offers a 50% faster clock speed over DDR3, accelerating in-memory workloads and virtualization tasks. Storage flexibility is achieved via up to four hot-plug 3.5″ drives or eight hot-plug 2.5″ drives, paired with PERC S130, H330, H730, H730P, or H830 RAID controllers for data protection.

    Compatibility

    The PowerEdge R330 is certified on major operating systems and hypervisors, including:

    • Microsoft Windows Server® 2016/2012/R2 Server Shop

    • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®

    • VMware® vSphere® ESXi®

    • SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server

    • Citrix® XenServer

    Usage Scenarios

    For SMB file and application servers, the R330’s compact 1U footprint and balanced Intel® Xeon® compute allow consolidation of SQL databases, file shares, and domain controllers without overprovisioning hardware.

    As a ROBO server, its Fresh Air 2.0 rating and remote management via iDRAC8 enable deployment in branch sites with minimal IT staff, maintaining uptime and security through agent-free monitoring.

    For development and backup, flexible storage configurations (up to 8 hot-plug drives) paired with hardware RAID options ensure fast snapshots and restores, while dual-PSU redundancy supports 24×7 protection.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1: Can the R330 support Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 processors?
    A1: Yes. The R330 is backwards-compatible with both E3-1200 v5 and v6 families, offering flexibility for refurbishments or upgrades.

    Q2: How do I configure iDRAC8 on the R330?
    A2: Enter System Setup during POST (<F2>), select “iDRAC Settings,” configure network parameters (DHCP or static IP), and access the web GUI at the assigned address.

    Q3: What inlet temperatures are supported under Fresh Air 2.0?
    A3: The R330 operates reliably with inlet temperatures up to 45 °C, reducing data-center cooling costs and enabling deployment in warm environments. Dell

    Q4: Which RAID controller offers the best performance?
    A4: For heavy I/O workloads, PERC H730P provides battery-backed write cache for superior performance, while PERC S130 is suitable for entry-level, cost-sensitive deployments.
