Compact rack server for compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis fits up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives and includes a DVD-ROM drive. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller.

Verify power, rails and drive trays before ordering

This unit includes one 550W redundant hot-swap power supply and a power cable. Rail kit, bezel and drive trays are not included, so confirm your rack mounting hardware and acquire trays for the eight 2.5-inch bays. The system supports a second processor and up to 384GB total memory across 12 DIMM slots, though installed memory is currently 8GB. Two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for expansion cards.

iDRAC8 and H730 controller shape daily operations

The integrated iDRAC8 Express enables out-of-band management, firmware updates and remote console access without an operating system. Upgrading to iDRAC8 Enterprise adds virtual media and advanced scripting capabilities. The PERC H730 controller provides 1GB cache and 12Gbps SAS throughput, allowing mixed RAID levels across the drive bays. Matrox G200 graphics deliver basic video output for local console access.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and which parts such as drive trays or rail kit must be purchased separately?

The server ships with one 550 W redundant power supply, a DVD drive, a power cable and the H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller. Hard drives, drive trays, rail kit, bezel, mouse, keyboard and video cable are not included and must be bought separately.

Which memory capacity should I choose given the 12 DIMM slots and the installed 8 GB module?

The system has 12 DDR4 slots (six per processor) and supports 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s. With one 8 GB module installed you can add matching modules to reach the 384 GB maximum, but actual speed depends on the Xeon E5-2650 v3 capability.

What does the ten-core 2.3 GHz Xeon E5-2650 v3 deliver in this 1U chassis with the H730 controller?

The single E5-2650 v3 provides ten cores and 20 threads at 2.3 GHz. The H730 1 GB 12 Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, while the chassis includes four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots for expansion.
