Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

This 2U rack server delivers a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor at 1.6GHz with 48GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Dell Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and two 750W redundant hot-swap power supplies for continuous uptime.

Suits small-business virtualisation and file storage

Organisations running light virtualisation, file serving or backup workloads will find the eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays and 48GB DDR4 a practical starting point. Buyers who need GPU compute, dual-processor performance or more than 48GB of memory should look at a larger platform.

Memory capped at 48GB with this CPU

The installed Xeon E5-2603 V3 limits total system memory to 48GB across twelve DIMM slots, so the server cannot reach the 384GB maximum the chassis supports. Confirm that ceiling before ordering.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server includes one E5-2603 V3 processor, 48GB DDR4 memory, a PERC H730 controller, two 750W redundant power supplies, a DVD ROM drive, a 4-port 1GbE daughter card, a Matrox G200 GPU and a power cable. Drive bays are empty; SAS or SATA drives, rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.

Should I choose the single-processor or dual-processor version for 48GB DDR4?

The listed unit ships with one E5-2603 V3 six-core 1.6GHz CPU and 48GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots. The board supports a second identical processor; adding it doubles core count and unlocks the remaining six memory slots for a 384GB maximum.

How does the 1.6GHz E5-2603 V3 perform with the H730 RAID controller in a live workload?

The six-core 1.6GHz Xeon drives the H730 1GB 12Gbps controller, which supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. Memory runs at up to 2400MT/s limited by the processor capability.
