1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor at 1.6 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory in a 1U chassis. It targets environments that need a compact rack footprint and hardware RAID without a large upfront drive investment.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives and connect to the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A single 550 W redundant supply is installed; the second bay is free for a matching unit. Two PCIe 3.0 slots remain open for additional I/O cards.

Remote management and missing peripherals

iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring and deployment; Express licensing is included and Enterprise can be added later. No operating system, rail kit, bezel, drive trays, keyboard, mouse or video cable are supplied, so those items must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R430 take before the 12 DIMM slots are full?

The server supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 across its 12 slots, with each processor controlling six channels running at up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed CPU.

What noise and heat should I expect from the single 550 W redundant supply running continuously?

One 550 W hot-swap supply powers the 1U chassis; fan speed scales with CPU load and inlet temperature, so sustained workloads will raise both airflow and exhaust heat accordingly.

Which drive trays and rails must I already have to populate the eight 2.5-inch bays?

The unit ships without trays or a rail kit; you need Dell 2.5-inch hot-plug carriers and compatible sliding rails to install SAS or SATA drives and mount the server.
