DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz 32 GB DDR4 3× 300 GB SAS H730

1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single rack unit and delivers dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors with six cores each at 1.6 GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory populate half of the twelve available DIMM slots. Three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5 inch hot-plug bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration works well for workloads that benefit from multiple cores and fast rotational storage in a compact chassis. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of installed memory, more than eight drive bays, or higher single-thread frequency should look elsewhere. The single 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports cover typical rack deployments without extra licensing.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32 GB

The specification lists maximum memory capacity as 32 GB, matching the installed amount and leaving no headroom for future expansion. If your application requires 384 GB or any larger footprint, this chassis cannot accommodate it.
