DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server 2x E5-2630 V3 2.4GHz 96GB DDR4 H730 8x 3.5

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. A Dell Perc H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits buyers needing dense 3.5-inch storage in 2U

The eight-bay chassis and H730 controller make this system a direct fit for capacity-focused workloads such as file serving, backup repositories or archival storage. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than five PCIe slots, or a form factor smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The installed memory already reaches the 96 GB configuration limit for this CPU pair.

96 GB DDR4 at the processor ceiling

The two E5-2630 V3 CPUs restrict maximum addressable memory to 96 GB, so the installed capacity cannot be expanded without a processor upgrade. This hard ceiling is the single specification that determines whether the server can grow with your workload or must be replaced when memory demand increases.
