Dell PowerEdge R530 2U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for cold-storage archives

This platform fits teams that need dense 3.5-inch hot-plug capacity — up to eight bays — and hardware RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 for bulk data retention. It is not for buyers who require more than sixteen gigabytes of memory out of the box, faster than 1.6 GHz core speeds, solid-state boot drives or GPU-accelerated compute density.

Twelve DDR4 slots capped at 16 GB installed

The system exposes twelve DIMM slots (six per processor) wired for DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s, yet only 16 GB is populated from the factory. That gap between slot count and shipped capacity is the single specification that determines whether the server can enter production immediately or must be re-provisioned first.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits do I need for this 2U server with dual 750W supplies?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies, so plan for two PDU outlets on separate circuits.

Can I keep using my existing 3.5" SAS drives in the remaining hot-plug bays?

Yes, the server supports up to eight 3.5" hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and the H330 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 with your current drives.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is reachable after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, watch the LCD panel for the assigned IP address, then browse to that address to verify the iDRAC8 Express interface loads.
