Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. A 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for dense virtualisation hosts

This server fits environments that need up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 and room for a second processor later. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory from day one, more than two PCIe 3.0 slots or more than four 1 GbE ports should evaluate larger platforms.

The PERC H730 controller

The H730 12 Gbps RAID card is the component that determines drive throughput and redundancy options for the three installed 300 GB SAS disks and any future drives added to the eight-bay chassis.

Questions about this item

Will the single 550 W redundant power supply handle a second CPU and a full complement of drives?

The chassis supports a second Xeon and up to eight 2.5-inch bays, but only one 550 W supply is installed; adding the second processor and more drives may exceed that single unit's capacity.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get when the 15K SAS drives and Xeon run continuously?

Eight 15K SAS drives plus a 2.4 GHz eight-core Xeon in a 1U form factor generate significant heat; the system relies on high-speed internal fans that produce noticeable noise under sustained load.

Which DDR4 modules must I already have to expand the memory beyond the installed 8 GB?

The board accepts 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 DIMMs up to 2400 MT/s, with six slots per processor and twelve slots total when both sockets are populated.
