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 2.4 GHz. It ships with 24 GB of DDR4 memory and three 4 TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and hot-plug drive bays support continuous operation in dense environments.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads.

This configuration fits buyers who need a 12-bay chassis populated with three large SAS drives and hardware RAID levels 0 through 60. The single-socket layout and 24 GB memory ceiling limit virtualisation density, so teams planning heavy consolidation or large in-memory datasets should look at dual-processor platforms with higher RAM capacity.

Maximum installable memory is 24 GB

The specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 24 GB across 12 DDR4 DIMM slots, matching the installed amount. Any expansion plan requiring more than 24 GB cannot be met by this unit, making the memory ceiling the decisive specification for capacity planning.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5-inch SAS drives into the hot-plug bays of this R530?

Slide each drive into one of the eight front bays until the latch clicks; the H730 controller will detect the 6 Gbps SAS link automatically.

Which components will need replacement first in this R530?

The three 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives and the two 750 W redundant power supplies are the only field-replaceable units with moving parts.

What performance limit appears first when the R530 runs sustained workloads?

The single E5-2630 v3 processor caps compute at eight cores and 2.4 GHz, and the 24 GB DDR4 limit prevents larger in-memory datasets.
