Dell PowerEdge R530 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It arrives with 48 GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are included.

Suited for capacity-focused workloads

This server suits IT teams that need dense 3.5-inch hot-plug storage with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across eight drive bays. Buyers who need more than 48 GB of memory, additional PCIe 3.0 expansion slots, or GPU compute capability should evaluate other platforms.

Max memory capped at 48 GB

The specification lists maximum memory capacity as 48 GB, matching the installed amount, so the system cannot be upgraded beyond its current configuration. This limit is the decisive factor when planning virtualisation density or database buffer pools.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is not included with the R530?

The rail kit and bezel are not included, so you must supply your own sliding rails and front bezel for a 2U installation.

Will my existing 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives work in the eight hot-plug bays?

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

How can I confirm the H730 controller is operating at 12 Gbps after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or iDRAC8 storage view; it will report a negotiated link speed of 12 Gbps for each attached drive.
