Rack server with single Xeon E5-2650 V3

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around one Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for dense storage workloads.

This platform suits teams that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who require a second processor to reach the 384 GB memory ceiling or who need more than five PCIe slots should evaluate other platforms.

Memory fixed at 96 GB unless a second CPU is added

The installed 96 GB already matches the single-processor maximum, so capacity cannot grow without populating the second socket. Expansion beyond this point depends on adding another compatible Xeon and additional DDR4 modules.

Questions about this item

What power supply is already installed so the server can run?

Two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies are fitted, so the R530 powers on without any additional PSU purchase.

Can the H730 RAID controller manage the 3.5-inch SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the H730 supports both SAS and SATA drives in the eight hot-plug bays, so existing 3.5-inch SATA disks can be added directly.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is responding after first boot?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address, and the iDRAC8 login page should appear, confirming the controller is active.
