Dell PowerEdge R530 2U dual-Xeon server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6GHz, 32GB of DDR4 memory and three 4TB SAS hard drives. The H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suits small-business virtualisation and file storage

The installed CPU and memory configuration handles light virtualisation workloads, backup repositories or departmental file shares. Buyers who need more than 32GB of RAM or higher single-thread performance should look at a different server because the memory limit is reached and the processors are fixed at 1.6GHz.

32GB DDR4 memory ceiling fixed by CPU

The two E5-2603 v3 processors cap total system memory at 32GB across twelve DIMM slots, so no further RAM can be added without changing the processors. This single constraint determines whether the server can grow with your workload.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H330 controller and both 750 W power supplies are functioning after installation?

During POST the system will display the H330 BIOS and list both power supplies as redundant; iDRAC8 then shows green status for the controller and each PSU.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

Included are the chassis with 2× E5-2603 v3 CPUs, 32 GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, 3× 4 TB SAS drives, H330 RAID controller, 2× 750 W redundant PSUs, DVD drive, 4× 1 GbE daughter card, Matrox G200eR2 video and one power cable; rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 384 GB limit?

The board has 12 slots (6 per CPU) supporting 4/8/16/32 GB DDR4-2400 modules; start with the installed 32 GB and populate empty slots in matched pairs per processor to reach the 384 GB maximum.
