Ready for rack deployment

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 processors provide twelve cores at 1.6GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and three 300GB 15K SAS drives ship installed. A Perc H730 RAID controller manages storage across up to eight hot-plug bays.

Twelve cores at 1.6GHz

Two six-core Xeon E5-2603v3 CPUs define the processing ceiling for this configuration. The C610 chipset supports a second processor if only one were populated, but both sockets are already filled. Memory runs at up to 2400MT/s depending on processor capability across twelve DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity reaches 384GB when fully populated.

Single 550W redundant supply

One hot-swap 550W power supply delivers redundancy in a 1U chassis weighing 43 lbs. Four 1GbE ports handle network traffic while iDRAC8 provides remote management. Two PCIe 3.0 slots remain available for expansion cards. A DVD-ROM drive and Matrox G200eR2 video complete the front and rear I/O.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.6 GHz clock speed of the dual E5-2603v3 CPUs mean for real-world server workloads?

The two six-core Xeon processors run at a base 1.6 GHz, providing 12 total threads for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization hosts, database services or file servers.

How does the H730 RAID controller's 12 Gbps SAS interface limit drive performance in this chassis?

The controller supports 12 Gbps SAS, but the three installed 300 GB 15K drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the array runs at the drives' native speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware are required to install this 1U server in a rack?

The chassis is 1.68 inches high, 26.7 inches deep and 18.99 inches wide; a rail kit is included for square-hole rack mounting.
