DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz 128 GB DDR4 H330 8 x 2.5" hot-plug

1U rack server with single Xeon E5-2650 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server equipped with one ten-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, reaching the maximum capacity supported by this configuration. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays for SAS or SATA drives. It is aimed at organisations needing dense compute in a single rack unit.

Redundant power and remote management included

Two 550 W redundant hot-swap power supplies provide resilience against a single supply failure. The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller enables out-of-band remote management, monitoring and firmware updates without an operating system. A DVD-ROM drive is fitted, while rail kit, bezel, drive trays, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not supplied. These inclusions and omissions define what additional hardware must be sourced before deployment.

Memory capacity fixed at 128 GB

The installed 128 GB of DDR4 matches the stated maximum memory capacity for this server, leaving no headroom for future expansion. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of RAM should consider a different platform, as the current configuration cannot be upgraded beyond this limit. The twelve DIMM slots are fully populated to reach this ceiling.
