Compact rack server for small workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single 1U slot and ships with dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors at 1.6 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 RAID controller. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives. A 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports are included. No operating system is installed.

Entry virtualization and file serving

Suits teams that need a dense, quiet platform for light virtualization, file sharing or departmental applications. Buyers who want more than 32 GB of installed memory, more than two processors, GPU compute or 10 GbE networking should look elsewhere. The 12 DIMM slots are fully populated at the factory limit.

Max memory capped at 32 GB

The system arrives with the maximum supported capacity of 32 GB already installed, so no further RAM upgrades are possible without replacing the server. This fixed ceiling is the single specification that determines whether the R430 matches a workload.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise should I expect from the 550 W redundant power supply running 24/7?

The single 550 W redundant supply powers both E5-2603 v3 CPUs and 32 GB DDR4; typical 1U servers run warm and audible under full load, so plan for front-to-rear airflow in a rack.

Which drive trays and cables must I supply to populate the eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays?

The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5″ SAS or SATA drives but ships without trays or cables; you need Dell-compatible 2.5″ hot-plug carriers and matching data cables for each drive.

Will the two PCIe 3.0 slots and four 1 GbE ports work with my existing expansion cards and network gear?

Yes — two PCIe 3.0 slots and four onboard 1 GbE ports are standard interfaces compatible with common add-in cards and switches.
