Product identity

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the base configuration.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and can accommodate the stated depth of 25.4 inches with the included rail kit. Confirm that your power distribution units supply the connectors required by the dual 750 W units. Ensure any additional DDR4 modules you plan to install match the 2400 MT/s specification and that the total capacity does not exceed the 384 GB limit across the 12 DIMM slots.

Build and connectivity

The chassis uses hot-plug drive carriers and redundant power supplies, allowing drive or power-module replacement without shutting down the system. Four 1 GbE ports on the daughter card provide baseline network connectivity. Five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — are available for additional controllers or adapters. The integrated Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB cache handles console output, while the DVD-ROM drive offers legacy media access.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drives and rails or must they be purchased separately?

The chassis includes eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays but no drives are installed; rails and bezel are also not included.

Should I choose the single E5-2630 V3 or add a second processor?

One eight-core 2.4 GHz CPU is fitted; a second socket is empty and can take another E5-2630 V3 to double core count.

What does the 8 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

8 GB is the starting capacity across twelve slots; memory runs up to 2400 MT/s and can be expanded with 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 modules.
