Target use and audience

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 24 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. This configuration suits small-business virtualisation, file serving or database workloads that need hot-plug drive bays and redundant power.

Setup checklist

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with 25.4-inch depth and that your PDUs can feed two 750 W redundant supplies. Confirm the operating system you plan to install supports the PERC H730 RAID modes and the Matrox G200eR2 video output. Ensure you have SAS or SATA drives ready if you intend to populate the remaining six hot-plug bays.

Build and daily operation

The chassis weighs 62 lbs and includes sliding rails for rack mounting. Dual 750 W power supplies provide fail-over without shutdown. The H730 controller offers 1 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and iDRAC8 remote management simplify daily administration and out-of-band access.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be bought separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2630 V3 processor, 24GB DDR4 memory, two 2TB 7.2K SAS drives, the H730 RAID controller, dual 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD drive, a power cable and an iDRAC8 Express card. Rails and an operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R530?

The board has 12 DDR4 slots and supports up to 384GB using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB modules at 2400MT/s. The installed 24GB uses a subset of those slots; add matching DDR4 DIMMs to reach the desired total.

What does the 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2630 V3 deliver in this 2U chassis?

The single eight-core processor runs at 2.4GHz with 16 virtual threads via hyper-threading. It drives the C610 chipset, feeds up to five PCIe slots (three at 3.0 and two at 2.0) and connects to four 1GbE ports on the daughter card.
