DELL PowerEdge R530 rack server E5-2650 V3 10-core 2.3GHz 128GB DDR4 H330

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and an iDRAC8 remote management module are fitted as standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

The installed 128GB matches the maximum supported by this processor configuration, so workloads requiring more RAM per socket cannot be accommodated. Buyers needing GPU compute should note the only video output is the integrated Matrox G200 with 8MB cache. The four 1GbE ports may limit network-heavy deployments without additional PCIe cards.

Single-socket 128GB DDR4 ceiling

With one E5-2650 V3 installed the memory controller caps total system memory at 128GB across the twelve slots, and this unit already populates that limit. Adding a second processor would raise the ceiling, but the current configuration cannot exceed the installed amount.
