PowerEdge R530 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with hyper-threading for 20 virtual cores. It targets IT teams needing dense compute in a standard rack footprint with integrated remote management via iDRAC8.

96 GB DDR4 at maximum capacity

The system ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, reaching the processor-supported ceiling of 96 GB so no further expansion is possible without a CPU upgrade. Storage starts with two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives on a PERC H730 1 GB 12 Gbps controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, while the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays can scale to 80 TB total raw capacity.

Redundant 750 W supplies and hot-plug bays

Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and eight front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays enable drive swaps and power-module replacement without downtime. A DVD-ROM drive, four 1 GbE ports on a daughter card, five PCIe slots (three 3.0 and two 2.0), and an included rail kit complete the physical package for immediate rack deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 96GB DDR4 already installed leave any free slots if I keep my existing memory modules?

The R530 has 12 DIMM slots in total, six per processor, so you can add modules to the remaining slots as long as they are DDR4 up to 2400MT/s.

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller is managing the two 2TB SAS drives correctly after first boot?

Enter the H730 BIOS utility during POST to confirm the virtual disk shows RAID 1, both 2TB drives are online, and the 1GB cache reports healthy.

Does the shipment include the rail kit and power cables, or must I order them separately?

The rail kit and power cables are included in the box; no extra purchase is required for basic rack mounting and power.
