1U Dual Xeon Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. The system targets small-business virtualization, file serving, or entry-level database workloads that fit within a single rack unit.

Verify Rack Depth and Power Redundancy

Confirm your rack can accommodate a chassis depth of 26.7 inches and that the 550 W redundant power supply matches your PDU connectors. The server provides eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays but only three drives and trays are installed; additional trays must be sourced separately. Memory currently occupies two of twelve slots and cannot exceed 16 GB without replacing the existing modules, so plan capacity before ordering.

Hot-Plug Bays and Remote Management

Eight front-accessible 2.5-inch bays support both SAS and SATA drives for tool-less replacement during operation. The single redundant power supply and DVD-ROM occupy the rear alongside four 1 GbE ports, two PCIe 3.0 slots, and an iDRAC8 Express module for out-of-band management. A Matrox G200eR2 video adapter provides basic console output, while the included power cable simplifies initial deployment.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R430 and which items are missing?

The server ships with two Xeon E5-2603v3 processors, 16 GB DDR4 memory, three 1 TB 7.2K 2.5" SATA drives in trays, a PERC H330 RAID controller, one 550 W redundant power supply, a DVD drive, a power cable and the iDRAC8 Express remote-management module. Rail kit, bezel, empty drive trays, mouse, keyboard and video cable are not included.

Should I choose the 16 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to populate the remaining DIMM slots up to the 384 GB maximum?

The system arrives with 16 GB installed across 12 DIMM slots (six per processor). You can add 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s to reach the 384 GB limit, but actual speed depends on the fitted Xeon processors.

What does the dual 1.6 GHz six-core Xeon specification mean for real-world throughput in a 1U rack?

Two E5-2603v3 CPUs provide twelve cores at 1.6 GHz with the C610 chipset, driving the H330 controller at 12 Gbps and four 1 GbE ports. The 550 W redundant supply and 1U form factor suit dense rack deployments needing moderate compute and up to eight 2.5" hot-plug drives.
