Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller managing three 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives in up to eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays. Redundant 550 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits small business virtualisation and file serving

This configuration suits small business virtualisation, file serving or remote-office workloads that fit within 8 GB of RAM and three SATA drives. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of installed memory or who want all-flash storage should look at other platforms because this unit ships with DDR4 limited to 8 GB and SATA drives only. The single CPU and two PCIe 3.0 slots also limit expansion for GPU or high-speed networking cards.

Maximum memory capacity of 384 GB with 12 DIMM slots

The single specification that decides fit is the maximum memory capacity of 384 GB across 12 DIMM slots, although only 8 GB is populated today. If your application requires more memory headroom you must budget for additional DDR4 modules up to 32 GB each. The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for the SATA or SAS drives you choose.

Questions about this item

How much depth does the 1U chassis need in a standard rack?

The chassis is 26.7 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus cable clearance at the rear.

What is the correct order for seating the CPU and memory before powering on?

Install the processor first, then populate DIMM slots starting with the six slots assigned to that CPU; the system will not train memory if the corresponding processor is absent.

When should the PERC H330 RAID battery be checked or replaced?

The controller uses a lithium-ion backup module that typically lasts three to five years; schedule a replacement when the iDRAC8 logs a battery-learn failure or reports degraded write-back cache.
