PowerEdge R430 1U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for density-constrained environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The platform targets IT teams needing a compact, redundant power supply design for virtualisation hosts, file serving or light database workloads.

16GB DDR4 with 12 DIMM slots

Installed memory sits at 16GB across twelve slots, six per processor, leaving ample headroom for expansion up to the platform maximum of 384GB. The H730 RAID controller supports SAS or SATA drives in eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and offers RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible capacity and redundancy planning. Memory speed scales to 2400MT/s depending on the CPU capability.

iDRAC8 remote management included

The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access without an operating system. A DVD-ROM drive is fitted, while four 1GbE ports handle network connectivity. The package includes a power cable; rail kit, bezel, drive trays, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not supplied.

Questions about this item

Will the eight 2.5-inch bays accept the SAS and SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, so existing drives with those interfaces will fit and function.

How can I confirm the PERC H730 RAID controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the H730 initialisation screen appears; press the indicated key to enter the controller BIOS and verify the firmware version, battery status and configured virtual disks.

The listing mentions no hard-drive trays — what exactly ships in the box?

The unit includes the 1U server, one 550 W redundant power supply and a power cable; rail kit, bezel, empty 2.5-inch trays, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included.
