Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor at 1.6GHz and 192GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. It supports a second processor to reach 384GB total capacity. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SAS or SATA drives.

Dual H730 RAID controllers with redundant power

Two Dell PERC H730 controllers each deliver 1GB cache and 12Gbps throughput, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed bays. A pair of hot-swap 750W power supplies provides full redundancy. The iDRAC8 Express module offers remote management with Lifecycle Controller, while a Matrox G200eR2 chip handles basic video output.

Rail kit and bezel not included in shipment

The unit arrives without rails, bezel, keyboard, mouse or video cable, so plan for separate rack-mount hardware. A daughter card supplies four 1GbE network ports, and up to five PCIe slots (three 3.0, two 2.0) remain available for expansion cards. Operating system is not included.

Questions about this item

When will the 192GB DDR4 memory need to be expanded and what is the maximum capacity?

The system ships with 192GB across 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384GB total using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained workloads on the single E5-2603 V3 1.6GHz six-core processor?

The single six-core CPU at 1.6GHz will saturate before the 192GB DDR4, the H730 RAID controller or the four 1GbE ports under heavy compute loads.

How much heat and fan noise should be expected when the dual 750W redundant power supplies run continuously in a 2U rack?

Two hot-swap 750W supplies share the load for redundancy; the 2U chassis uses internal fans to cool the CPU, memory and drives during 24/7 operation.
