Compact 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits two Xeon E5-2630v3 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit. It targets teams that need compute density for virtualisation, databases or web tiers without occupying multiple slots.

Upgrade from single-socket

Moving from a single-processor box doubles thread count to 32 with hyper-threading, while the C610 chipset adds 12 DIMM slots for future expansion to 384 GB. The jump pays off when workloads scale beyond one socket but do not yet justify a 2U chassis.

Limited by PCIe 3.0 and 1 GbE networking

Two PCIe 3.0 slots and four 1 GbE ports constrain high-throughput storage or GPU accelerators. The H330 controller handles SAS or SATA drives up to 16 TB each, but the interface caps sustained bandwidth for all-flash arrays.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the 1U chassis?

The chassis measures 26.7 inches long, 18.99 inches wide and 1.68 inches high.

How is the PERC H330 controller installed and what is the common mistake?

The PERC H330 controller installs in a dedicated internal slot; the common mistake is not connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller before powering on.

What maintenance will the hot-plug drive bays and redundant power supply need?

The 8 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives that can be replaced without shutdown; the single 550W redundant supply can be swapped hot if a second unit is added.
