Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute in standard cabinets. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays and includes a DVD-ROM drive. A single 550W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits small virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration fits teams running light virtualisation clusters, file services or entry-level databases that benefit from hardware RAID. The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the three installed 1.2TB SAS drives. Buyers who need more than 16GB of memory today should look elsewhere, as the installed DIMMs already reach the listed maximum capacity for this specific configuration.

16GB DDR4 memory ceiling

Any expansion beyond that figure would require a different configuration or a platform change. Verify your workload memory footprint against this hard limit before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the installed 1.6GHz Xeon processors and 16GB DDR4 memory work with my existing SAS storage array?

The server ships with dual E5-2603v3 CPUs, 16GB DDR4, and a PERC H730 RAID controller that supports SAS and SATA drives, so it can connect directly to your existing SAS array.

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and both CPUs are detected correctly after installation?

During POST, check the BIOS and iDRAC8 interface; both should list two E5-2603v3 processors, 16GB DDR4, and the H730 controller with its 1GB cache.

Which items are included in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the 1U chassis, dual CPUs, 16GB DDR4, three 1.2TB SAS drives in trays, H730 controller, one 550W redundant PSU, DVD drive, power cable, and rails; OS, keyboard, mouse, video cable, bezel, and extra drive trays are not included.
