Compact 1U rack server for dual Xeon workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rackmount system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1.2 TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. A single 550 W redundant power supply and a DVD-ROM drive complete the configuration.

Suited for dense compute clusters.

This server fits organisations that need a high core count in a shallow chassis for virtualisation hosts, web tiers or HPC nodes. Buyers who require more than 32 GB of installed RAM or who need additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug slots should evaluate larger platforms. The two PCIe 3.0 slots also limit add-in card expansion.

Max memory capped at 32 GB by the installed

Although the R430 platform supports up to 384 GB across 12 DIMM slots, this unit is populated to 32 GB and the specification lists the maximum installed capacity as 32 GB. That ceiling determines whether the system can hold the working set for memory-intensive applications without a hardware change.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the PowerEdge R430 and which items are not included?

The server ships with two E5-2630 v3 processors, 32 GB DDR4 memory, three 1.2 TB SAS drives in hot-plug trays, a H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache, one 550 W redundant power supply, a DVD-ROM drive, four 1 GbE ports, two PCIe 3.0 slots, iDRAC8 Express and a power cable. Rails, bezel and an operating system are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R430 if I want the maximum supported amount?

The system has 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384 GB total using 32 GB DDR4 modules running at 2400 MT/s; the installed 32 GB configuration leaves room for expansion up to that limit.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock speed mean for actual performance once the server is running?

Each E5-2630 v3 provides eight cores at 2.4 GHz, giving 16 physical cores and 32 threads with Hyper-Threading; real-world throughput depends on workload, memory speed and the H730 RAID controller managing the three 1.2 TB SAS drives.
