Dual Xeon 10-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Eight hot-plug 3.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives up to 80 TB total capacity. The system includes dual redundant 750 W power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive.

Sustained load with redundant power

Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails, which is critical during continuous multi-threaded workloads across 40 virtual cores. The Intel C610 chipset and DDR4 memory running up to 2400 MT/s deliver steady throughput for virtualisation or database tasks. The Matrox G200 graphics controller with 8 MB cache handles basic console output without adding thermal load. Four onboard 1 GbE ports provide stable network connectivity for long-running services.

Straightforward rack install with cabling care

The 2U chassis fits standard racks and includes a rail kit for mounting. Twelve DIMM slots are grouped six per processor, so memory must be balanced across both CPUs for full performance. Drive bays are front-accessible for hot-swap replacement, but the eight 3.5-inch slots limit density compared to 2.5-inch configurations. PCIe expansion offers three 3.0 slots and two 2.0 slots; full-length cards need clearance verification. iDRAC8 Express provides remote management out of the box, with Enterprise features available as an upgrade.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the 2× 750 W redundant supply get when the R530 runs continuously?

Dual 750 W hot-swap units share the load, keeping each supply at lower utilisation and reducing fan speed during steady 24/7 operation.

Which drives and caddies must I already have to populate the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; matching Dell hot-plug caddies are required for each bay.

Will my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards work in the two PCIe 2.0 slots alongside the three PCIe 3.0 slots?

Yes, the two PCIe 2.0 slots run at 2.0 speeds while the three PCIe 3.0 slots operate at 3.0, so legacy cards function without modification.
