Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 V3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Two 2 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives occupy two of the eight available 3.5-inch hot-plug bays.

Fit for purpose

This system suits organisations that need a dense, redundant platform for virtualisation, database workloads or file serving using SAS or SATA drives. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require two CPUs installed immediately or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The server maxes out at 128 GB of DDR4 memory with the current single-processor configuration because all 12 slots are populated; reaching the 384 GB ceiling documented for dual-processor setups would require adding the second CPU and additional DIMMs.

Questions about this item

Does the server include a rail kit so I can mount it in a standard rack?

The supplied accessories list a power cable only; a rail kit is not included and must be sourced separately.

Can the H730 controller manage SATA drives in the same 3.5" hot-plug bays as the installed SAS drives?

Yes, the bays accept both SAS and SATA drives and the H730 supports RAID across either interface.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 remote management is reachable after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, then browse to the DHCP-assigned address shown on the front-panel LCD or during POST.
