Server System 2U Rack

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre deployment. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. Two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache provide the storage foundation. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation.

Suited For Multi-Terabyte SAS Storage

This server suits teams that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives with hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The twelve DIMM slots accept DDR4 modules up to 32GB each, allowing expansion to 384GB total memory. Five PCIe slots (three at 3.0, two at 2.0) add I/O flexibility. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, higher installed memory or a different processor core count should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight Hot-Plug 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch hot-plug chassis with SAS/SATA backplane. It caps raw capacity at 80TB and dictates the RAID controller choice, power redundancy and rack depth. Confirm the bay count and form factor match the intended storage layout before purchase.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the R530 get with dual E5-2603 v3 CPUs and 750 W redundant supplies running continuously?

Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap supplies share the load, and the 2U chassis uses Dell's thermal design for eight 3.5" drive bays and twelve DDR4 DIMM slots.

What cables, rails or drives must I already have to install this 2U server in a standard rack?

A power cable is included. Rail kit, bezel and additional SAS or SATA drives for the six empty 3.5" hot-plug bays are not included.

Can I keep my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards when moving to this R530 with its five PCIe slots?

Yes. The system provides three PCIe 3.0 slots and two PCIe 2.0 slots, so legacy PCIe 2.0 cards will function in the appropriate slots.
