Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server designed for workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. The system supports up to two processors and a maximum memory capacity of 384 GB for expanded virtualization or database tasks.

Sustained-load behaviour

Dual 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies maintain uptime during continuous operation and component failure. The H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache manages up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives across RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, delivering consistent throughput for mixed read-write patterns. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides remote monitoring and firmware updates without interrupting running services.

Interface and expansion limits

Five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — constrain the number of additional controllers or network adapters. Onboard networking is limited to four 1 GbE ports via a daughter card. The Matrox G200 video subsystem with 8 MB cache supports only basic console output. Maximum raw storage capacity reaches 80 TB with eight bays, and memory speed is capped at 2400 MT/s depending on the installed processor.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power draw should I expect from the two 750W redundant supplies running continuously?

The server uses dual 750W hot-swap power supplies in a redundant configuration; actual heat output and draw depend on the workload placed on the single E5-2630 v3 processor and the 96GB DDR4 memory installed.

Which drive caddies and cables do I need to populate the 3.5-inch hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes the backplane for the H730 RAID controller; you must supply Dell-compatible 3.5-inch hot-plug caddies and any additional SAS/SATA cables required.

Can I keep my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards in the available slots?

The system provides five PCIe slots — three PCIe 3.0 and two PCIe 2.0 — so legacy PCIe 2.0 cards will operate in the two PCIe 2.0 slots without modification.
