CPU Model E5-2630 V3

  • Dual Xeon E5-2630 V3 processors deliver 32 virtual cores for parallel workloads
  • 16 GB DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots enables scalable capacity
  • PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 60 for flexible data protection
  • Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies provide continuous uptime
  • 8 x 3.5" hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives for high-density storage

Built for dense 3.5-inch storage arrays

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors at 2.4GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. It targets IT teams needing up to eight hot-plug SAS or SATA drives behind a single H330 RAID controller. The platform suits backup repositories, archive workloads or entry virtualisation clusters where drive count matters more than GPU acceleration.

Dual 750-watt redundant supplies share load

Redundant hot-swap power modules keep the system running if one unit fails or needs replacement. The chassis draws from both supplies under normal operation, spreading thermal load across the 2U enclosure. A Matrox G200 graphics chip handles basic console output without adding measurable heat or acoustic contribution. No discrete GPU is present, so fan curves stay oriented around CPU and drive bay cooling.

iDRAC8 Express ships enabled for remote control

The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller provides out-of-band management, virtual console and lifecycle firmware updates without an operating system. A DVD-ROM drive is included for local media installs, while five PCIe slots (three at 3.0 and two at 2.0) remain open for additional NICs, HBAs or flash adapters. Rails, bezel and a power cable are bundled; keyboard, mouse and video cables are not.

Questions about this item

How do I install the H330 RAID controller and what step is often missed?

The H330 controller installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is importing the foreign configuration before creating new virtual disks.

What maintenance will the 750W redundant power supplies need later?

Each 750W supply is hot-swappable; plan to replace a unit if its status LED shows amber or if iDRAC8 reports a predictive failure.

What limit appears first when the dual E5-2630 v3 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The installed 16GB DDR4 across 12 slots caps memory capacity long before the 2.4GHz eight-core processors reach thermal limits.
