Target workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and includes dual 750 W redundant power supplies. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for a 25.4-inch chassis. Confirm the facility can supply power to two 750 W redundant supplies. Ensure any additional DDR4 modules match the supported 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB capacities and 2400 MT/s rating. Plan for up to twelve DIMM slots, six per processor, if a second CPU is added later.

Upgrade path

This server replaces older rack units limited to smaller drive counts or single power supplies. The jump is worthwhile when you need eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays with hardware RAID and redundant power in a 2U form factor. It also suits environments moving from towers to racks where iDRAC8 remote management reduces hands-on maintenance. Buyers needing more than 48 GB of memory or a second processor from day one should consider a differently configured system.

Questions about this item

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

The server includes a power cable, DVD drive, Matrox G200 GPU, H330 RAID controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, and 48GB DDR4 memory. Hard drives, rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse, and video cable are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this server?

The system ships with 48GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots. It supports up to 384GB total using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s, with actual speed dependent on the installed processor.

What does the 1.6GHz six-core Xeon mean for real workloads?

The single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 provides six cores at 1.6GHz for multi-threaded tasks. A second processor can be added to the C610 chipset, doubling core count and enabling the full 384GB memory capacity across all 12 slots.
