Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory in a 1U chassis. It is aimed at IT teams that need dense compute for virtualisation, database or web workloads in standard racks. The integrated H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 for local storage arrays.

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays

The front panel accepts up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives that can be swapped without shutting down the system. A 550 W redundant power supply is installed and a second unit can be added for full redundancy. Two PCIe 3.0 slots provide room for additional network or accelerator cards. Four 1 GbE ports and iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller handle remote management out of the box.

Upgrade from older 1U platforms

The R430 replaces earlier 1U servers that max out at lower memory capacities or lack 12 Gbps RAID performance. Moving up makes sense when workloads need more than 16 GB of RAM per socket or require the broader RAID 50/60 options of the H730. It is not suited for buyers who want more storage bays than eight 2.5-inch slots provide or who need GPU-accelerated compute beyond the basic Matrox G200 video.

Questions about this item

How far can the 24 GB DDR4 memory be expanded on this PowerEdge R430?

The server has 12 DIMM slots, six per processor, and supports up to 384 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s.

What thermal or acoustic load should I expect from the single 550 W redundant supply running continuously?

One 550 W hot-swap power supply is fitted; the redundant design lets the second unit share the load, keeping fan speeds lower during all-day operation.

Which drive trays and rails must I source before the eight 2.5-inch bays become usable?

The chassis provides eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays, but drive trays, rail kit and bezel are not included and must be purchased separately.
