PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

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. It ships with 24 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. A single 550 W redundant power supply and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Suited for dense compute and storage expansion

This server suits environments that need a compact 1U chassis with eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays supporting SAS and SATA media. The H730 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Organisations requiring dual processors, larger memory footprints or GPU acceleration should evaluate larger platforms.

Max memory capped at 24 GB with current CPU

The installed Xeon E5-2603 v3 limits total system memory to 24 GB despite the board providing 12 DIMM slots and a chipset ceiling of 384 GB. Buyers planning memory-intensive workloads must account for this processor-imposed ceiling or select a different CPU configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2603 v3 or add a second processor for more cores?

The server ships with one six-core 1.6 GHz Xeon and supports a second identical CPU, doubling cores and memory channels when fitted.

What does the 24 GB DDR4 actually deliver in this R430?

You get 24 GB running at up to 2400 MT/s across the 12 DIMM slots, with speed limited by the installed processor's memory controller.

How does the H730 12 Gbps controller limit drive performance?

The Perc H730 handles SAS or SATA drives at 12 Gbps, so SSD throughput is capped by that link and the RAID level you configure.
