DELL E5-2650 PowerEdge R530 rack server 2U 96GB DDR4 H330

Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server designed for organisations that need a dual-socket platform with high core density. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz for a total of forty virtual cores with hyperthreading. Ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory fill the twelve available DIMM slots. The H330 RAID controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. Dual 750-watt redundant power supplies provide power resiliency.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes that benefit from forty virtual threads and ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory. The H330 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across eight hot-plug bays for local storage redundancy. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated workloads should look elsewhere because the only graphics output is a Matrox G200 with eight megabytes of cache. Organisations needing more than ninety-six gigabytes of installed memory must add modules themselves up to the platform maximum.

Maximum installed memory is ninety-six gigabytes

The server arrives with ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory installed across all twelve DIMM slots, which matches the memory capacity supported by the fitted processors. Expanding beyond this figure would require a processor change, so the installed ninety-six gigabytes is the decisive specification for immediate deployment. The H330 controller and eight 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling, while five PCIe slots (three at generation 3.0 and two at 2.0) set the expansion limit.
