Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 occupies a single rack unit while supporting up to two Xeon processors and twelve DDR4 DIMM slots. It ships with a single six-core E5-2603 v3 running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of memory. Four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots provide baseline connectivity and expansion for small-scale workloads.

Hot-plug drive bays and RAID

Eight 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives; three 600 GB 15 K SAS drives are installed. The H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A single 550 W redundant power supply and included trays simplify drive swaps without downtime.

Sustained operation in dense racks

The 1U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow to keep both CPUs and the H730 controller stable during continuous loads. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access. DVD-ROM and Matrox G200eR2 video support basic local maintenance when needed.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R430 hold before the 12 slots are full?

The R430 supports up to 384GB of DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, 6 per processor, with modules up to 32GB each at 2400MT/s.

What is the fan noise and power draw like when the server runs 24/7 with the 550W redundant supply?

The single 550W redundant PSU powers the E5-2603 v3, three 15K SAS drives, H730 controller and four 1GbE ports; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and workload.

Which rails, cables and drives must I already have to install the R430 in a standard rack?

The unit includes a power cable; rail kit, bezel and empty 2.5" drive trays are listed as included peripherals.
