DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 24GB 8x 300GB SAS H730

Target workloads

The PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets environments that need dense compute in a single rack unit, such as virtualization hosts, database nodes or edge applications where space and power are constrained.

Sustained operation

Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies and the PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache keep the system running during drive or power-module failures. Eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads, while the C610 chipset and PCIe 3.0 slots provide stable I/O paths for additional network or storage cards under continuous load.

Daily serviceability

Tool-less 2.5-inch hot-plug bays let technicians replace drives without shutting down the chassis. The integrated iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller gives remote console, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated management network, reducing physical visits to the rack. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and a low-profile Matrox G200eR2 video output cover basic connectivity without consuming expansion slots.
