Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots, two 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module complete the platform.

Suitable for traditional virtualisation

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads, local databases or file services that benefit from the 15K SAS spindles and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Organisations needing higher core counts, larger memory footprints or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms. Buyers who require more than eight 3.5-inch drive bays or PCIe 4.0 expansion will not find those capabilities here.

Maximum memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4

The server supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve slots, with six slots wired to each processor. Installed memory currently totals 16 GB. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can absorb future consolidation or in-memory database growth without a platform change.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support for the installed 600GB drives?

The H730 is a 12Gbps controller, but the installed 600GB 15K drives run at 6Gbps SAS, so the array operates at the drive link speed of 6Gbps.

What clearance and depth are required to mount this 2U server in a rack?

The chassis is 25.4 inches deep and 17.1 inches wide, fitting a standard EIA rack; allow extra rear depth for cable management and the redundant 750W power supplies.

How are the dual Xeon E5-2630 V3 CPUs and 16GB DDR4 installed, and what slot rule applies?

The two processors are pre-installed; 16GB DDR4 is populated across the 12 DIMM slots (six per CPU) and must follow the per-processor channel population order in the service manual.
