Rack server for entry workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server designed for small-business or remote-office deployments. It ships with a single six-core Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 running at 1.6 GHz and 24 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache provide redundant storage out of the box. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for capacity-focused tasks

This unit fits workloads that prioritise internal storage bays and hardware RAID over raw compute density. The eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays support up to 80 TB of SAS or SATA capacity. Organisations needing a second processor, more than 24 GB of memory or additional PCIe 3.0 slots should evaluate other platforms.

Memory ceiling fixed at 24 GB

The installed 24 GB matches the maximum memory capacity listed for this specific configuration. Twelve DIMM slots are present, but the specification caps total memory at 24 GB, so no further expansion is possible without changing the platform.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R530 and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2603 V3 processor, 24GB DDR4, two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives, H730 RAID controller, dual 750W power supplies, DVD drive, four 1GbE ports, iDRAC8 Express, Matrox G200eR2 video and a power cable. Rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R530?

The board has 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384GB with registered DDR4 modules of 4, 8, 16 or 32GB running at 2400MT/s. The installed 24GB uses a subset of slots, so you can add matching DIMMs to reach the maximum without removing existing memory.

What does the H730 12Gbps RAID controller mean for daily operation?

The H730 provides 1GB cache and 12Gbps SAS connectivity, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays. This delivers hardware-accelerated redundancy and performance for the installed 2TB drives and any additional SAS or SATA disks you add.
