2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon E5-2650 V3

This new Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 processors, each with ten cores running at 2.3 GHz. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, and two hot-swap 750 W redundant power supplies. It is aimed at organisations that need a dense, expandable platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation.

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays supporting SAS or SATA drives, making it a good fit for teams that prioritise internal capacity and RAID flexibility up to 80 TB. Buyers who need GPU compute acceleration or single-thread performance beyond the installed CPUs should evaluate other platforms. The Matrox G200 graphics and four 1 GbE ports cover basic management and console access only.

Max memory capped at 16 GB by supplied modules

Although the motherboard accepts up to 384 GB across its twelve slots, this unit arrives with 16 GB total and no larger modules included. Any memory expansion requires purchasing additional DDR4 DIMMs separately, so confirm the required capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the drives I need to start using the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays?

The listing shows no SSD or hard drives installed, so you must supply your own SAS or SATA drives for the eight bays.

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

Yes, the chassis provides five PCIe slots — three are PCIe 3.0 and two are PCIe 2.0, so older cards can use the 2.0 slots.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors are recognised with all forty virtual cores after power-on?

Check the iDRAC8 interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will display two ten-core CPUs with hyper-threading giving forty logical processors.
