2U rack server with Xeon E5-2603 V3
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 24GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.
24GB DDR4 and eight 3.5-inch drive bays
The system holds 24GB of DDR4 memory, matching the listed maximum capacity for this configuration, with twelve slots available for future upgrades using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB modules up to 2400MT/s. Two 300GB 15K SAS drives are installed in the eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, which accept SAS or SATA drives up to a combined 80TB. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
Redundant 750W supplies and iDRAC8 management
Dual hot-swap 750W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in rack environments. The iDRAC8 Express controller enables remote monitoring and lifecycle management over the network. Four onboard 1GbE ports handle standard connectivity, while five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — allow additional I/O cards. A Matrox G200eR2 video chip with 8MB cache provides basic display output.
