Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. A PERC H330 RAID controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 550W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management come standard.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits teams running virtualised workloads or internal databases that benefit from the installed 96GB memory ceiling and dual-processor layout. The four 1GbE ports handle typical management and migration traffic. Buyers who need more than 96GB of RAM, more than two PCIe 3.0 slots, or 10GbE networking should look at a different platform.

Memory fixed at 96GB DDR4 maximum

The system board provides 12 DIMM slots but the specification lists a maximum memory capacity of 96GB, matching the factory-installed amount. This cap is set by the processor and chipset combination, so the server cannot be upgraded beyond 96GB of DDR4. Confirm that this limit meets your workload requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack space and depth does the 1U PowerEdge R430 require?

The server occupies 1U of rack height and measures 26.7 inches deep by 18.99 inches wide, weighing 43 lbs.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two E5-2603 v3 processors are pre-installed; populate the 12 DDR4 DIMM slots evenly across both CPUs — six slots per processor — to enable full memory-channel performance.

Which components will need replacement or maintenance over time?

The two 550W hot-swap power supplies, eight 2.5-inch drive trays, DVD-ROM drive, and iDRAC8 vFlash media (if upgraded) are all field-replaceable; the H330 RAID controller battery backs the cache and may need eventual replacement.
