Rack server with single Xeon processor

This 1U Dell PowerEdge R430 arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core CPU running at 1.6GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It includes three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. A single 550W redundant power supply, DVD drive and four 1GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suited to single-socket workloads

The system is built for environments that need a compact rack unit with hardware RAID and hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays. Buyers who require a second processor, more than eight drive bays, 10GbE networking or GPU compute capacity should evaluate other platforms. The installed memory reaches the 48GB limit for this single-CPU configuration.

Maximum memory capped at 48GB with one CPU

With only one processor installed, the server cannot exceed 48GB of DDR4 despite twelve physical slots and a chipset ceiling of 384GB. Adding the second Xeon would unlock the full capacity, but the current unit ships with a single E5-2603v3 and no additional processor kit.

Questions about this item

Which drive count and capacity should I choose for the 8-bay 2.5" chassis?

The server ships with three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives; the backplane accepts up to eight 2.5" SAS or SATA drives so you can add five more later.

What does the 1.6 GHz six-core Xeon mean for actual throughput?

The E5-2603v3 runs at 1.6 GHz with six cores, providing baseline compute for light virtualization or file serving; memory speed will run at the processor's supported DDR4 rate.

What does the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller cap in practice?

The H330 supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60 over 12 Gbps SAS lanes; with 6 Gbps drives installed the array is limited to 6 Gbps per drive.
