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 48 GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, with a maximum capacity of 384 GB. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache provide enterprise-grade resilience. The system includes a DVD-ROM drive and a Matrox G200 graphics chip for basic video output.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays

Storage connects through eight front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays that accept SAS or SATA drives, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a maximum raw capacity of 80 TB. The H730 controller operates at 12 Gbps and manages all attached arrays. Expansion is handled by five PCIe slots: three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0, allowing additional network or storage adapters. Networking is provided by a daughter card with four 1 GbE ports, and remote management uses iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors fixed at 2.4 GHz

The server is populated with two eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs, delivering 16 physical cores and 32 threads with hyper-threading enabled. Processor upgrades are not supported beyond this configuration, so the clock speed and core count are fixed for the life of the chassis. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s DDR4, limited by the processor's integrated memory controller. Buyers needing higher frequencies, more cores per socket or a newer instruction set must choose a different platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 48 GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules to reach 384 GB?

The system ships with 48 GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 modules running up to 2400 MT/s.

What does the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz deliver in this 2U rack server?

Two eight-core Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs provide 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.4 GHz, giving strong multi-threaded performance for virtualisation and database workloads.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gbps RAID controller limit drive speed in the 8-bay chassis?

The H730 12 Gbps controller manages up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, capping array throughput at the controller's 12 Gbps link.
