Compact 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots. It targets IT teams that need density for virtualisation, light database work or edge workloads in standard racks. The H730 RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Upgrade from single-socket or older 2U units

Moving from a single-socket box or a previous-generation 2U server gains a second CPU and twice the memory channels in half the rack height. The jump is worth it when thread count and memory bandwidth matter more than raw clock speed, and when the 48 GB ceiling meets the working set. The 12 Gbps SAS/SATA backplane also replaces slower 6 Gbps controllers.

Build around eight hot-plug bays

The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with hot-plug trays, fed by a single 550 W redundant power supply. Two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for additional NICs or HBAs. iDRAC8 Express provides out-of-band management, while the Matrox G200 handles basic video. Rails, bezel and trays are not included.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit do I need for the 26.7 inch long 1U chassis?

The server is 26.7 inches deep and 1.68 inches high; rails and bezel are not included, so order a Dell 1U sliding rail kit that matches your cabinet depth.

How do I install the PERC H730 RAID controller and what step is often missed?

The H730 occupies one of the two PCIe 3.0 slots; the step often missed is connecting the mini-SAS cables from the controller to the 8-bay 2.5 inch backplane before powering on.

Which DDR4 DIMMs can I add later and how many slots remain free?

12 DIMM slots total, 6 per processor, supporting 4, 8, 16 or 32 GB DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s; with 48 GB installed, several slots are free for expansion up to 384 GB.
