Dell PowerEdge R530 2U server

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 8 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 4 TB SAS hard drives connected to a PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration. It is suited for organisations needing a dense, hot-plug storage platform with hardware RAID flexibility.

Storage-focused teams, not compute-heavy workloads

This server suits IT teams that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require large memory capacity for virtualisation or in-memory databases will find the installed 8 GB limiting, and the single processor leaves half the memory channels unpopulated. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or more than five PCIe expansion cards should look elsewhere.

Memory ceiling fixed at 8 GB

The system arrives with 8 GB of DDR4 installed and the specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 8 GB, meaning no further DIMMs can be added without replacing the existing modules. This hard limit dictates whether the server can handle your intended workloads or if a different platform is required.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H330 controller support for the 3x 4TB SAS drives?

The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed 3.5-inch SAS drives.

How many 3.5-inch drive bays are free for expansion beyond the three installed drives?

The chassis provides eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, so five bays remain open after the three factory-installed 4TB SAS drives.

What is required to add a second processor to the empty socket?

A second Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU must be installed in the vacant socket, then the six corresponding DIMM slots can be populated with DDR4 memory modules.
