  • 24 GB DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots for virtualisation density
  • Three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives on H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache

Compact 1U rack server for virtualisation

This 1U PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets small businesses and remote offices that need dense compute for virtual machines or light database workloads. The chassis supports a second processor for future expansion.

Hot-plug drive bays simplify storage changes

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives; three 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives ship installed. The PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Installation is straightforward, but the 24 GB memory limit on this configuration prevents larger virtualisation clusters.

Redundant 550 W power supply sustains load

A single hot-swap 550 W redundant supply handles continuous operation while the second bay remains empty for failover. Four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots provide steady I/O throughput for sustained workloads. The iDRAC8 Express remote management console monitors thermal status during extended runs.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the E5-2650v3 ten-core 2.3GHz processor is recognised with 20 virtual threads after setup?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC8 interface and confirm the CPU shows 10 cores and 20 threads running at 2.3GHz.

What ships with the server and which items such as rail kit or extra drive trays must be purchased separately?

The unit includes the server, one 550W power supply, power cable, DVD drive, three 1.2TB SAS drives in trays and the H730 RAID controller; rail kit, bezel and additional trays are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose to reach the 384GB maximum using the 12 DDR4 slots?

Populate all 12 slots with 32GB DDR4 modules; the board supports 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB sticks up to 2400MT/s depending on the installed processor.
