DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server E5-2630 V3 2.4GHz 128GB DDR4 H730

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits small-business virtualisation

This configuration fits organisations that need up to eight hot-plug 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who require a second processor, GPU compute, or more than five PCIe expansion slots should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed memory already reaches the 128GB maximum supported by this CPU.

128GB DDR4 memory at the processor limit

The single E5-2630 V3 processor caps addressable memory at 128GB, which this unit already provides. Adding a second processor would raise the ceiling to 384GB across all twelve slots, but that upgrade is not included. Confirm the memory ceiling matches your application before purchase.
