Dell PowerEdge R530 2U 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 96 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 600 GB 15K SAS drives are pre-installed in the eight hot-plug 3.5-inch bays, and dual 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suits single-socket deployments with SAS storage

This configuration suits organisations that need a reliable single-socket platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads using SAS or SATA drives. The eight-bay chassis and H730 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Buyers who require dual processors from day one, more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should look at other models.

Maximum memory is 96 GB with one CPU

The installed 96 GB matches the maximum capacity supported by a single processor in this system. Adding a second Xeon would be necessary to reach the full 384 GB ceiling across all twelve slots, so memory expansion beyond 96 GB depends on populating the second socket.

Questions about this item

What rack space does the 2U R530 need?

The server occupies 2U of vertical space in a standard rack; the chassis measures 3.4 inches high.

Can I add a second Xeon E5-2603 V3 to the R530?

Yes, the C610 chipset supports up to two processors and the board provides a second socket.

How do I confirm the H730 controller sees both 600 GB SAS drives?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface or the H730 BIOS utility and verify both drives appear in the physical disk list.
