CPU Model E5-2630 V3

  • Eight-core Xeon E5-2630 V3 at 2.4 GHz for multi-threaded workloads
  • 24 GB DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots for virtualisation density
  • H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60
  • Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies for uptime
  • 8 × 3.5" hot-plug drive bays with up to 80 TB raw capacity

Server purpose

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz with 24GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug drives. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management provide baseline resilience for continuous operation.

Fit and gaps

This configuration suits teams that need a compact rack platform with internal SAS or SATA storage and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 out of the box. Buyers who need more than 24GB of memory from the factory, a second processor installed, more than five PCIe slots populated, or 10GbE networking on the base daughter card should evaluate other options.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is capped at 24GB across twelve DDR4 DIMM slots, so the system cannot exceed that capacity without adding modules; verify that limit against the workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H330 RAID controller is functioning after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST and confirm the virtual disks appear in iDRAC8 storage inventory with the correct RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 level.

What components are included and which must be purchased separately for the R530?

The unit ships with one E5-2630 V3 CPU, 24GB DDR4, H330 controller, two 750W PSUs, DVD drive, power cable and rails; drives, OS, second CPU, bezel, keyboard and mouse are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose given the 12 DIMM slots and processor limit?

The installed E5-2630 V3 supports up to 384GB total; populate the 6 slots per CPU with matched 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s.
