DELL PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The DELL PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 2 TB 7.2K SAS drives occupy two of the eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD ROM complete the chassis.

Suited for and not suited

This server suits organisations that need a dense, two-socket platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room to grow internal storage to 80 TB. It also fits workloads that can use the four onboard 1 GbE ports and up to five PCIe slots, three of them 3.0 and two 2.0. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, integrated GPU accelerators or boot drives that are not SAS or SATA should evaluate other platforms.

Installed memory capacity decides fit

The system arrives with 16 GB of DDR4 installed and the specification lists a maximum installed capacity of 16 GB, though the platform supports up to 384 GB when fully populated. If the target application needs more memory than the factory configuration provides, additional DIMMs must be sourced separately before deployment.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 DIMM slots does the R530 have for memory expansion?

The server provides 12 DDR4 DIMM slots, six per processor, supporting modules up to 32 GB each for a maximum of 384 GB.

Can the H730 RAID controller manage SATA drives in the same 3.5-inch hot-plug bays as the installed SAS drives?

Yes, the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept both SAS and SATA drives, and the H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across them.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is responding after the server powers on?

Connect to the iDRAC8 network port, browse to its IP address and log in; the Lifecycle Controller dashboard will show hardware inventory, firmware versions and system health.
