1U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2603 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A single 550 W hot-swap power supply provides redundancy-ready power in a 1U chassis.

Fits density-focused compute.

This server suits environments that need compact, dual-socket compute with hardware RAID for SAS or SATA drives, such as web hosting, virtualisation clusters or file and print services. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 48 GB of RAM or additional PCIe expansion beyond two 3.0 slots should consider a larger platform. The Matrox G200 graphics and four 1 GbE ports cover basic management and console needs only.

Memory fixed at 48 GB DDR4 across 12 slots

The installed 48 GB DDR4 capacity matches the listed maximum, so no further memory can be added without replacing existing modules. Twelve DIMM slots are populated to reach this limit, meaning any upgrade requires removing current sticks. This constraint makes the memory configuration the deciding factor for capacity planning.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with any drive trays or only the empty bays?

The listing states that hard drive trays are not included and must be purchased separately.

Can I install more than 48 GB of DDR4 memory in this R430?

The chassis provides 12 DIMM slots and the platform supports up to 384 GB, so additional DDR4 modules can be added.

What RAID levels can the H330 controller handle for the 2.5-inch drives?

The H330 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight hot-plug bays.
