2U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets IT teams that need reliable compute density for virtualisation, database or application workloads in a standard rack footprint. The system ships without an operating system, ready for your chosen hypervisor or OS deployment.

H730 RAID Controller and Dual 15K Drives

The integrated Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache brings 12 Gbps SAS connectivity and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Two factory-installed 300 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drives deliver low-latency performance for boot volumes or transaction-heavy datasets. Redundant hot-swap 750 W power supplies and eight 3.5-inch hot-plug bays allow drive or power-module replacement without downtime.

Memory Ceiling and Expansion Headroom

The board provides twelve DDR4 DIMM slots with a listed maximum of 16 GB per module and a total capacity ceiling of 384 GB when both processor sockets are populated. With one CPU installed, six slots are active and the current 16 GB configuration leaves ample room for growth. Five PCIe slots — three at 3.0 and two at 2.0 — accommodate additional network, storage or accelerator cards, while the iDRAC8 remote management interface handles out-of-band administration.

Questions about this item

Will the 15K SAS drives need replacement before other components?

The two 300 GB 15K SAS drives are mechanical; expect them to wear out before solid-state parts or the H730 controller.

What limit appears first when the E5-2650 V3 runs at full load continuously?

The single 10-core 2.3 GHz processor and 16 GB DDR4 ceiling will bottleneck sustained compute before the 750 W redundant supplies or cooling reach their limits.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get during all-day operation?

Dual 750 W redundant supplies and eight 3.5-inch drive bays mean active cooling; noise and heat rise noticeably under constant load but stay within Dell's rated envelope.
