Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors running at 1.6GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 with eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module are standard.

Ideal for dense internal storage

Suits teams that need up to 80TB of SAS or SATA capacity in a compact rack form factor with redundant power and hardware RAID. Not for buyers who require PCIe-attached storage or GPU compute acceleration. The Matrox G200 video and PCIe 2.0 slots limit modern expansion options.

Maximum memory capped at 96GB

The installed 96GB DDR4 already reaches the system maximum of 96GB, so no further memory upgrades are possible. Twelve slots are populated to this limit with the current configuration. Buyers planning future memory growth should evaluate platforms with higher capacity ceilings.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the H330 controller use and what throughput does it provide?

The PERC H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives at 12Gbps, enabling RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 across up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the R530 need in a rack?

The 2U chassis measures 25.4 inches deep, 17.1 inches wide and 3.4 inches high; it weighs 62 lbs and ships without a rail kit, which must be sourced separately.

How is the server installed and what step is commonly missed?

Mount the chassis in the rack, connect the dual 750W redundant power supplies, populate the twelve DDR4 DIMM slots across both processors, then configure RAID on the H330 before installing an operating system.
