  • 10-core Xeon at 2.3 GHz handles parallel workloads
  • 48 GB DDR4 across 12 slots supports virtualisation density
  • Three 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives give 3 TB raw storage

  • Redundant 550 W power supply keeps the 1U server running

1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz with 48 GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. It targets workloads that need strong multi-threaded performance in limited rack space such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers. The system ships without an operating system.

48 GB DDR4 and three 1 TB drives with H730 RAID

Installed memory maxes out at 48 GB across twelve DIMM slots so larger datasets must live on the three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by the Perc H730 controller with 1 GB cache. RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60 are supported giving flexibility for redundancy or capacity. The eight 2.5 inch hot-plug bays allow up to five more drives when storage demand grows.

Upgrade from older 2U or single-socket towers

This server replaces bulkier 2U units or non-redundant tower systems when rack density and hot-swap power become priorities. The jump is worth it when you need ten cores with hyper-threading and hardware RAID in a single rack unit. Buyers who require dual processors from day one or more than 48 GB of RAM should look at larger platforms.

Questions about this item

How does the single E5-2650 v3 10-core 2.3 GHz processor perform alongside a second identical CPU if I add one later?

The C610 chipset supports two processors; adding a second E5-2650 v3 would double cores to 20 and allow up to 384 GB across all 12 DIMM slots.

What should I check in iDRAC8 after first power-on to confirm the H730 controller sees all three 1 TB drives?

Open the iDRAC8 web interface, go to Storage, and verify the H730 lists three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives in a healthy RAID array.

Which items ship with the server and which must be ordered separately?

Included: server, one 550 W redundant power supply, DVD drive, power cable, three 1 TB drives in trays. Not included: rail kit, bezel, second CPU, extra memory, OS.
