Compact 1U server for dense racks

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Xeon E5-2630 v3 and 8 GB of DDR4 into a 1U chassis with redundant hot-swap power. It ships with three 1.2 TB SAS drives on a PERC H730 controller and offers eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Express.

Suits workloads that fit two processors

This configuration supports a maximum of two CPUs and 384 GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots. It provides four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots for expansion. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than eight drive bays or 10 GbE networking out of the box should look at larger platforms.

Single-socket limit defines ceiling

Only one Xeon E5-2630 v3 is installed, though the board accepts a second identical processor. Adding the second CPU unlocks the remaining six memory slots and doubles thread count for multi-threaded applications.
