DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2603 v3 6C 1.6GHz 24GB DDR4 H330 8x2.5

Dell PowerEdge R430 1U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory installed. It includes a PERC H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. A 550 W redundant power supply, DVD-ROM drive, Matrox G200 video and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration for space-constrained data-centre deployments.

Ideal for virtualization hosts

This platform suits buyers who need a compact 1U form factor with redundant power and room for up to eight SAS or SATA drives managed by a hardware RAID card. The 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion within the processor's supported limits, and two PCIe 3.0 slots provide I/O flexibility for additional network or storage cards. Organisations requiring more than one CPU, GPU compute, or drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

Maximum supported memory is 384 GB across 12 DIMM

The system board provides 12 DDR4 DIMM slots, six per processor socket, with a validated maximum capacity of 384 GB when both sockets are populated. The current single-processor configuration ships with 24 GB installed, leaving headroom for growth within the same processor generation. Memory speed operates up to 2400 MT/s depending on the specific CPU installed.
