Dell PowerEdge R530 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory, two 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays complete the platform for small-business workloads.

Suited For And Limitations

This server suits organisations needing a compact 2U chassis with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room to grow storage up to 80TB across eight bays. The four 1GbE ports on the daughter card handle standard network duties. Buyers who need a second processor installed, more than 16GB of memory out of the box, solid-state drives pre-fitted or an operating system included should look elsewhere.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory ceiling is 16GB across 12 DIMM slots, with a platform maximum of 384GB when both processor sockets are populated. DDR4 modules run up to 2400MT/s depending on the CPU. If the target application demands more memory than 16GB immediately, this configuration will require additional DIMMs and possibly a second processor before deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller is initialised and managing the two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives after first boot?

Enter the H730 BIOS during POST, verify both 300 GB 15 K SAS drives appear as Ready, then check the RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 virtual disk status shows Optimal.

Which components ship inside the 2U chassis and what must I source separately to have a usable system?

The box contains the R530 with one E5-2603 V3, 16 GB DDR4, two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives, H730 1 GB 12 Gbps controller, dual 750 W redundant PSUs, DVD-ROM, iDRAC8 Express and a power cable; you must add an OS, rails, bezel and any extra CPUs, memory or drives.

Should I choose the single E5-2603 V3 configuration or add a second processor to reach the 384 GB DDR4 maximum?

The listed unit has one E5-2603 V3 and 16 GB across 12 DIMM slots; adding a second supported Xeon unlocks the full 384 GB capacity and the remaining six memory slots.
