What this server delivers

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots, two 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays complete the package.

Who this configuration suits

Organisations running small databases, virtualisation hosts or file services that value 15K spindle speed and hardware RAID will find the storage performance and redundancy appropriate. Buyers needing more than one processor installed, GPU acceleration or more than 8GB of memory out of the box should consider other options.

The specification that decides fit

The PERC H330 controller and SAS interface dictate which drives can be added and which RAID levels are available; verify that your storage plan matches these constraints before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell Perc H330 controller support the SAS drives already installed in the R530?

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller manages the two 300GB 15K SAS drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.

Can I keep using my existing DDR4 modules when adding memory to this server?

The R530 has 12 DIMM slots accepting 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 up to 2400MT/s; actual speed depends on the installed E5-2630 v3 processor.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is responding after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address and log in; the Lifecycle Controller dashboard will show hardware inventory, firmware versions and system health.
