Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes a Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives occupy two of the eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies and a DVD-ROM complete the base configuration.

Suited for dense storage workloads with room to grow

This server fits environments that need up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The installed 128 GB matches the listed maximum memory capacity, so buyers who need more than 128 GB of RAM should look at a different platform. The single-socket configuration also means a second processor cannot be added without a new motherboard.

Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The storage subsystem hinges on the Dell Perc H730 controller, which provides 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and 1 GB of non-volatile cache. It manages the two installed 300 GB 15K drives and any additional drives up to the 80 TB raw capacity limit. This controller determines which RAID levels are available and governs the performance ceiling for the entire drive array.

Questions about this item

How much memory can this R530 take before the 128 GB ceiling stops further upgrades?

The system ships with 128 GB across 12 DIMM slots and the specification lists 128 GB as the maximum capacity, so no additional DDR4 modules can be added.

What noise and heat should I expect from the dual 750 W supplies and 15 K drives running continuously?

Two redundant 750 W power supplies and two 15 000 rpm SAS drives will produce noticeable fan noise and heat output typical for a 2U rack server under constant load.

Which rails or rack hardware do I need to mount this 2U chassis in a standard cabinet?

The server requires a compatible Dell rail kit for the 2U form factor; the supplier notes the rail kit is not included, so you must source it separately.
