Dense 1U compute node

The PowerEdge R430 packs a ten-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit. It targets teams that need high thread density for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or batch workloads where rack space is at a premium. Buyers who want more storage bays or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Redundant 550 W supply

A hot-swap 550 W power module provides N+1 redundancy so a single failure does not take the server offline. The 1U chassis draws cool air front-to-rear through managed fans that ramp with CPU load, keeping acoustics predictable in a data-centre aisle. No liquid-cooling provisions exist.

Eight hot-plug SAS bays

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA media and are populated with 300 GB 15 K spindles behind a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two PCIe 3.0 slots and four 1 GbE ports handle add-in cards and networking, while iDRAC8 gives remote console and lifecycle control. Builders needing more than two expansion slots or 10 GbE on-board will need a different platform.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8 x 300 GB SAS drives into the 2.5" hot-plug bays, and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is confirming the H730 controller detects every drive in the RAID BIOS before loading the OS.

What maintenance or replacement will the 550 W redundant power supply need later?

The single 550 W unit can be hot-swapped if it fails; keep a spare on hand because the chassis only holds one supply despite the redundant design.

What limit appears first when the E5-2650 v3 runs sustained workloads with 16 GB DDR4?

Memory capacity hits the 16 GB installed ceiling first; the CPU supports up to 384 GB across 12 slots, so adding DDR4 modules removes the bottleneck.
