2U rack server for single-socket workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with 10 cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots, reaching the platform maximum for a one-CPU configuration. Two 300 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide hot-plug storage in up to eight 3.5-inch bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense virtualisation hosts.

This server fits organisations that need a compact, single-socket host for virtualisation, database or application workloads where 96 GB of RAM and 10 physical cores are sufficient. Buyers who require two processors for higher thread counts, more than 96 GB of memory, or additional PCIe 3.0 lanes should evaluate a dual-socket alternative. The eight-bay chassis also limits internal drive count for users planning large local storage arrays.

Single-socket 96 GB DDR4 ceiling

The installed memory reaches the 96 GB maximum supported with one processor, so the system cannot accept more RAM unless a second CPU is added. This hard limit is the key specification to verify against workload sizing before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the PowerEdge R530 ship with rails so I can mount it in my existing 2U rack space?

The server is a 2U rack model; the listing notes a rail kit among the included peripherals.

Can I keep using my 3.5-inch SATA drives alongside the two 300GB 15K SAS drives already installed?

The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays that accept SAS or SATA drives, so existing SATA drives can be added to the remaining slots.

How can I confirm the H330 controller is managing the RAID array correctly after first boot?

Enter the controller BIOS during POST to verify the virtual disk shows the expected RAID level and that both 300GB drives report optimal status.
