PowerEdge R430 1U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache. Dual 550W redundant power supplies and four 1GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

This server fits environments that want two eight-core CPUs and 96GB of RAM in a single rack unit. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. Buyers who need more than 96GB of memory, additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the two provided, or GPU acceleration beyond the Matrox G200 should consider other platforms.

96GB DDR4 at the processor limit

The installed 96GB matches the maximum memory capacity supported by the fitted Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, so no further RAM can be added without a CPU upgrade. Storage capacity scales to 16TB across the eight drive bays using SAS or SATA drives. The two PCIe 3.0 slots provide limited expansion headroom for networking or storage adapters.

Questions about this item

What drive trays do I need to populate the 8 x 2.5" hot-plug bays on this R430?

The server ships without trays; you must supply Dell 2.5" hot-plug caddies that match the chassis to install SAS or SATA drives.

Can the H730 RAID controller manage the 2.5" SAS and SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the Perc H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 on both SAS and SATA media in the eight hot-plug bays.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs and 96 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Enter the iDRAC8 interface or BIOS; both will show two 8-core processors at 2.4 GHz and 96 GB across the 12 DIMM slots.
