1U rack server for small workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R230 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1220v5 quad-core processor running at 3GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis includes a DVD-ROM drive, a 250W cabled power supply and dual 1GbE network ports. It is suited for basic file, print or web serving in space-constrained racks.

Check power, memory ceiling and bay count

Verify that your rack can supply standard AC power for the fixed 250W cabled unit, as no redundant hot-swap option is present. The system supports a maximum of 4GB installed memory despite four DIMM slots accepting larger modules, so plan for the 4GB limit unless a processor upgrade changes the ceiling. Only two 3.5-inch cabled drive bays are available, restricting internal storage to the supplied SAS drives or SATA replacements. Two PCIe 3.0 slots provide one full-height x16 and one low-profile x8 for add-in cards.

Replaces older 1U single-socket towers

This server upgrades from older single-socket 1U systems that lack DDR4 memory and 12Gbps SAS connectivity. The jump is worth it when you need 15K SAS performance and hardware RAID 5 or 6 in a 1U form factor without moving to a dual-socket platform. It does not suit buyers who need more than two internal drives, redundant power supplies or memory beyond 4GB. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Express with optional Enterprise upgrades.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with rails, bezel or cables, or must I buy them separately?

A power cable is included; rail kit, bezel, mouse, keyboard and video cable are not included.

The spec lists 4 GB installed but mentions 64 GB maximum — which modules should I select?

Four DIMM slots accept DDR4 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s; populate in matched pairs for best performance.

What usable capacity do the two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives give with the H330 controller?

In RAID 1 you get 300 GB of mirrored space; RAID 0 provides the full combined capacity of both drives.
