DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 48GB 3×600GB SAS H730

Dell PowerEdge R430 1U 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 48 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and three 600 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. A 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE network ports complete the baseline configuration.

IT teams needing dense compute with room to grow

This server suits organisations that want a compact 1U platform with redundant power, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and the ability to add a second processor later. Buyers who require dual processors from day one, more than 48 GB of installed memory, or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

Single Xeon E5-2630 v3 at 2.4 GHz

The installed processor delivers eight physical cores and sixteen threads at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz, defining the ceiling for single-socket performance. A second socket is available for future expansion, but the shipping configuration provides exactly one CPU, so workloads that demand two processors immediately will need an upgrade before deployment.
