Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. A Dell Perc H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits buyers needing dense 3.5-inch storage in 2U

The eight-bay chassis and H730 controller make this system a direct fit for capacity-focused workloads such as file serving, backup repositories or archival storage. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than five PCIe slots, or a form factor smaller than 2U should consider other platforms. The installed memory already reaches the 96 GB configuration limit for this CPU pair.

96 GB DDR4 at the processor ceiling

The two E5-2630 V3 CPUs restrict maximum addressable memory to 96 GB, so the installed capacity cannot be expanded without a processor upgrade. This hard ceiling is the single specification that determines whether the server can grow with your workload or must be replaced when memory demand increases.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2630 V3 CPUs, 96 GB DDR4 memory, H730 RAID controller, dual 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD-ROM drive, Matrox G200 graphics, iDRAC8 Express remote management and a power cable. Hard drives, rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse and operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this server?

The board has 12 DIMM slots and the installed 96 GB already reaches the listed maximum capacity. To add memory you would need to remove existing modules and replace them with larger DDR4 DIMMs up to 384 GB total.

What does the 2.4 GHz Xeon rating mean for actual workloads?

Each E5-2630 V3 provides eight cores at 2.4 GHz with Hyper-Threading for 32 logical threads total, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation, databases and compute tasks within the 2U chassis.
