  • Redundant 550 W power supply and iDRAC8 remote management for uptime

Target workloads

The PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets environments that need dense compute in a single rack unit, such as virtualization hosts, database nodes or edge applications where space and power are constrained.

Sustained operation

Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies and the PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache keep the system running during drive or power-module failures. Eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads, while the C610 chipset and PCIe 3.0 slots provide stable I/O paths for additional network or storage cards under continuous load.

Daily serviceability

Tool-less 2.5-inch hot-plug bays let technicians replace drives without shutting down the chassis. The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives remote console, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated management network, reducing physical visits to the rack. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and a low-profile Matrox G200eR2 video output cover basic connectivity without consuming expansion slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 550W redundant power supply run under continuous load?

The single 550W redundant power supply is designed for 1U rack density; fan speed scales with thermal load from the E5-2630v3 and eight 15K SAS drives.

Which DDR4 modules must I already have to reach the 384GB maximum across 12 slots?

The board accepts 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 up to 2400MT/s; six slots are wired to the installed processor, the other six require a second CPU.

Will my existing 6Gbps SAS cables and 2.5" drive trays work with the H730 controller and eight 300GB drives supplied?

Yes — the H730 is a 12Gbps controller that negotiates down to 6Gbps, and the hot-plug bays accept standard 2.5" SAS trays.
