  • Dual Xeon processors deliver six cores each at 1.6 GHz for multi-threaded workloads
  • 48 GB DDR4 memory fills every slot for immediate high-capacity operation
  • Three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives provide fast 2.5-inch hot-plug storage
  • H730 RAID controller supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 1 GB cache
  • Redundant 550 W power supply keeps the 1U server running if one unit fails

1U rack server for dense compute

The PowerEdge R430 fits a dual-socket Intel Xeon configuration into a single rack unit. Two E5-2603v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz provide twelve total threads. Installed memory is 48 GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots, reaching the processor-limited maximum of 48 GB. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives for flexible storage density.

Thermals noise and redundant power

A single 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply feeds both CPUs and the drive cage. The 1U chassis uses high-speed system fans that ramp with inlet temperature, so acoustic output rises under sustained load. Typical idle draw sits well below the supply rating, leaving headroom for the three 15 K RPM SAS drives and the H730 RAID controller. Redundant supply design allows module replacement without downtime.

H730 RAID and iDRAC8 remote management

The H730 controller brings 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps SAS connectivity, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed 300 GB drives. iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band hardware monitoring, virtual console and lifecycle updates over a dedicated network port. Optional Enterprise licences add vFlash media and advanced analytics. A DVD-ROM and Matrox G200 video complete the base feature set.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS drives in the hot-plug bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into an empty bay until the latch clicks, then verify the PERC H730 RAID controller detects it in the BIOS before configuring RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The three 300GB 15K SAS drives and the single 550W redundant power supply are the primary field-replaceable units; the DVD ROM and system fans may also require service.

What limit appears first when the dual E5-2603v3 CPUs run sustained workloads?

Memory capacity is capped at 48GB across the 12 DDR4 DIMM slots, so the RAM ceiling is reached before CPU or 12Gbps SAS bandwidth limits.
