Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. It includes three 4TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays complete the base configuration.

Suited for storage-focused workloads

The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and SAS RAID controller make this system a fit for file serving, backup repositories or archival storage where capacity and redundancy matter. Buyers who need more than 16GB of memory or who require additional CPU sockets should look elsewhere, as the installed memory sits at the listed maximum and only one processor is populated.

Maximum memory locked at 16GB

The specification states a maximum memory capacity of 16GB despite twelve DDR4 DIMM slots being present, meaning the system cannot be expanded beyond the factory-installed amount. This single constraint decides whether the server can support your intended workload.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750W redundant supplies draw when the R530 runs 24/7?

Each supply is rated at 750W; actual draw depends on load, but redundancy means one can carry the full system if the other fails.

Which rails or cables must I already have to mount this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

The unit includes a power cable; a compatible rail kit is required for rack mounting and is not included.

Will my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards work in the R530 alongside the newer slots?

The server provides two PCIe 2.0 slots and three PCIe 3.0 slots, so legacy 2.0 cards install directly.
