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-thread performance in a shallow rack footprint.

Hot-plug drive bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch bays accept SAS or SATA drives; three 600 GB 15K SAS drives ship installed behind a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. A single 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports handle power and network basics. Two PCIe 3.0 slots remain open for additional I/O cards.

Steps up from smaller 1U systems with fixed storage

The combination of hot-plug bays, hardware RAID and redundant power replaces entry-level 1U boxes that rely on internal cabling and single supplies. The jump is worth it when uptime and drive serviceability matter more than maximum core count.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the PowerEdge R430 support before the 12 DIMM slots are full?

The system accepts up to 384 GB of DDR4 across 12 slots, although the installed configuration provides 48 GB.

What noise and heat level should I expect from the single 550 W redundant power supply running continuously?

One 550 W hot-swap supply powers the 1U chassis; fan speed scales with CPU and drive load, so sustained use increases airflow and audible noise.

Which rails or brackets are required to mount the 1U R430 in a standard rack?

The server uses Dell 1U sliding rails; the rail kit is not included and must be sourced separately for rack installation.
