1U Rack Server with Xeon E5-2650 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1.2 TB SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. Redundant hot-swap power and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts and dense compute

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads or container clusters that benefit from 20 virtual threads in a single rack unit. The 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 384 GB when a second processor is added. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at larger chassis.

PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

The installed H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 12 Gbps SAS interface and 1 GB of onboard cache. This controller determines which drive configurations and redundancy levels are possible. Verify that your intended RAID level and drive count are supported before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height and depth does the 1U PowerEdge R430 require?

The server occupies 1U of rack height and measures 26.7 inches deep, so the cabinet must accept at least that depth with clearance for cables.

Which step is often missed when installing the PERC H730 RAID controller and the three 1.2 TB SAS drives?

After seating the controller and drives, the RAID array must be created in the controller BIOS before the operating system installer will see a usable volume.

What components will need replacement first in the R430?

The 2.5 inch SAS drives and the 550 W redundant power supply are the field-replaceable parts most likely to require service over time.
