Compact 1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a dual-socket Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 configuration and 48 GB of DDR4 memory into a single rack unit with redundant hot-swap power. It targets IT teams that need high core counts in minimal space for virtualization, database or application workloads.

Suits dense virtualization.

Buyers who need more than 48 GB of installed memory or more than two PCIe 3.0 slots should look elsewhere. The system also lacks pre-installed drives or drive trays, so environments requiring immediate storage capacity must add them separately.

Dual E5-2630v3 CPUs deliver 16 cores and 32 threads

Two eight-core 2.4 GHz processors provide the compute foundation, while the twelve DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 384 GB total capacity. The PERC H730 controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with two E5-2630v3 CPUs and the single 550 W supply running continuously?

The 1U rack form factor uses high-speed fans that spin faster under sustained load from dual eight-core CPUs; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room and plan for front-to-rear cooling in a cabinet with adequate clearance.

Which drive trays, cables or rail kit do I need to add before the eight 2.5-inch bays become usable?

The listing states hard-drive trays, rail kit and bezel are not included; you must supply compatible 2.5-inch hot-plug trays, SAS or SATA cables if not using the backplane, and a rack rail kit to mount the 26.7-inch deep chassis.

Will the PCIe 3.0 slots and iDRAC8 work with an older PCIe 2.0 HBA and a legacy Java-based KVM console?

Two PCIe 3.0 slots accept PCIe 2.0 cards at reduced bandwidth, and iDRAC8 supports remote console via HTML5 or Java, so older management tools can still connect over the four 1 GbE ports.
