DELL E5-2603 PowerEdge R530 2U rack server 1.6GHz 24GB 3x 4TB SAS H330

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz. It ships with 24GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and three 4TB 7.2K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies provide continuous operation for demanding workloads.

Suited for storage-focused deployments

This configuration suits organisations needing a high-capacity SAS storage platform with hardware RAID in a compact 2U form factor. The eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays allow expansion up to 80TB total capacity, while iDRAC8 remote management simplifies lights-out administration. Buyers requiring more than 24GB of memory or a second processor should evaluate other configurations, as this unit arrives with a single CPU and memory capped at 24GB per the installed specification.

Memory ceiling fixed at 24GB

The installed memory specification lists a maximum capacity of 24GB, matching the 24GB currently populated across the 12 DDR4 slots. This limit defines the server's ability to handle virtualisation density or large in-memory datasets without a hardware change. Verify that 24GB satisfies your application requirements before purchase, as the platform cannot exceed this figure with the supplied components.
