Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory. Three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide immediate storage capacity. The system supports a second processor and up to 384GB of total memory across twelve DIMM slots.

Sustained-load behaviour

Redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies maintain uptime during continuous operation. The H330 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for data protection under heavy I/O. Four 1GbE network ports handle steady traffic flows. Two PCIe 3.0 slots allow addition of specialised accelerators or network cards. iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without physical access.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your rack provides at least 26.7 inches of depth and 1.68 inches of height for this 1U chassis. Confirm the facility can supply power to redundant 550W units. Ensure SAS backplane compatibility for the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. Note that no operating system, rail kit, bezel, keyboard, mouse or video cable are included. Additional DDR4 modules must match the 2400MT/s specification and processor capability.
