DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2603v3 1.6GHz 16GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H330

1U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2603v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives. A PERC H330 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The system has a single 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE network ports.

Suits general-purpose workloads needing dense SAS

This server fits environments that need a compact 1U form factor with eight hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID. It works for virtualization hosts, database nodes or file serving where 15K SAS spindles are preferred. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of installed memory, additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the two provided, or 10 GbE networking should consider other platforms.

Installed memory capped at 16 GB across 12 DDR4

The system ships with 16 GB total and the specification lists maximum memory capacity as 16 GB, although the chipset supports larger DIMMs. This fixed limit is the key constraint for memory-intensive applications. Verify that the 16 GB ceiling matches workload requirements before purchase.
