DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server 2x E5-2603v3 1.6GHz 48GB 3x 300GB SAS H330

1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a dual Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 configuration with 48GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U rack form factor. It ships with three 300GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. The system is designed for environments that need high core density and fast local storage in minimal rack space.

Check rack depth power and drive bays

Verify that your rack can accommodate a chassis depth of 26.7 inches and that you have a redundant 550W power feed available. The server provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays for SAS or SATA drives, but only three are populated. Ensure your operating system supports the H330 controller and that you have the required rail kit, which is not included.

Single 550W supply with iDRAC8 management

A single 550W redundant power supply handles the dual six-core processors, memory and three 15K drives under normal load. The Matrox G200eR2 video output and iDRAC8 Express remote management allow headless operation and firmware updates without a local console. Four 1GbE ports provide baseline network connectivity for management and workload traffic.
