2U rack server for small-scale workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server designed for environments that need moderate compute density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 24 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 750 W redundant power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation.

Memory capped at 24 GB across 12 DIMM slots

The installed 24 GB matches the maximum capacity listed for this configuration, using DDR4 modules across 12 slots. No further memory expansion is possible without replacing the existing modules. Buyers who need more memory should consider a different platform.

Dual 750 W supplies handle typical load

Redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load, reducing strain on each unit during normal use. The Matrox G200 graphics controller draws minimal power, and the 8 x 3.5-inch drive bays add predictable draw when populated. Fan noise scales with inlet temperature and component load in the 2U chassis.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.6 GHz clock speed on the Xeon E5-2603 V3 mean for everyday server workloads?

The six-core processor runs at a base 1.6 GHz, providing steady throughput for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization, file serving and light database work without turbo boost variability.

How does the H330 12Gbps RAID controller limit drive performance in practice?

The controller caps each SAS or SATA drive at 12 Gbps and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60, so aggregate throughput scales with the number of installed 3.5-inch hot-plug drives.

What rack space and mounting hardware does the 2U PowerEdge R530 require?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and measures 25.4 inches deep; a compatible rail kit is needed for installation and is not included with the server.
