Dell PERC H730P 2GB NV Cache RAID Controller for PowerEdge FC630 — C5VN6

This PERC H730P is a RAID controller carrying 2GB of non-volatile cache, supplied under Dell part number C5VN6.

Controller and disk health can be monitored from the server’s management console. The controller must match the backplane it connects to, as the backplane decides which drives it can see. Dell part numbers identify the exact revision, which matters more than the description when several look-alike parts exist. The non-volatile cache is designed to protect cached writes if power is lost, which is what makes write-back caching safe to use. The listing names PowerEdge FC630 as compatible systems. A hardware RAID controller handles striping, mirroring and parity itself, so the operating system sees simple volumes. When replacing a controller, check firmware levels first; a controller of the same family can usually pick up the existing array from the drives. Set-up happens in the controller’s pre-boot utility, and arrays can be managed later from the operating system. The part number C5VN6 is the reliable reference when checking this controller against your system.

Certified refurbished condition: the part is inspected, bench-tested and function-checked in Johannesburg.
