DELL E5-2650 PowerEdge R530 2U rack server 2× 10‑core 2.3 GHz 48 GB DDR4 H330

Purpose-built compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server equipped with two 10‑core Intel Xeon E5‑2650 v3 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need a compact, redundant platform for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or internal application tiers.

Verify rack space and drive plan

Confirm your cabinet can accept a 2U chassis and that you have rails or shelves rated for the unit’s depth. The front panel supports up to eight 3.5‑inch hot‑plug SAS or SATA drives; no drives are installed, so budget for the capacity and RAID level required by your workload. The PERC H330 controller handles RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60, and the board provides three PCIe 3.0 plus two PCIe 2.0 slots for additional controllers or networking cards.

Redundant power and remote management

Dual 750 W hot‑swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, and the integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives out‑of‑band access for firmware updates, hardware monitoring and remote console sessions. A Matrox G200 video chip provides basic local display, while the four‑port 1 GbE daughter card handles management and production traffic. The DVD‑ROM bay remains for legacy media tasks.
