1U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors, each with eight cores at 2.4 GHz, delivering 32 virtual cores when hyper-threading is enabled. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 300 GB 15 K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller. A single 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Workloads

This chassis suits teams that need a compact virtualisation host or database node with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support and room to grow to 384 GB of DDR4. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two PCIe 3.0 slots, or 10 GbE networking out of the box should evaluate a different platform.

Maximum Memory Capacity Caps Expansion

The specifications list a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB, which limits the server to its shipped configuration unless the processor and chipset combination is verified to support larger modules. Confirm the supported ceiling before planning any RAM upgrade.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the hard-drive trays, rails, bezel and power cable, or must any of those be purchased separately?

The server ships with three 300 GB SAS drives, a PERC H730 RAID controller, one 550 W redundant power supply, DVD drive, four 1 GbE ports, two PCIe 3.0 slots, iDRAC8 Express remote management, Matrox G200eR2 video, a power cable, rail kit, bezel and the drive trays that hold the installed drives.

Should I choose the current 16 GB configuration or plan to populate all 12 DIMM slots up to the 384 GB maximum?

The system has 12 DDR4 DIMM slots (six per processor) and supports 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s; installed memory runs at the speed allowed by the E5-2630 v3 CPUs. Start with 16 GB and add matched modules later if workloads need more capacity.

What usable capacity and redundancy does the three-drive 300 GB SAS array provide with the H730 controller?

The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; with three 300 GB 15 K drives you can create a RAID 5 volume that tolerates one drive failure and delivers the combined capacity of two drives.
