Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack-mount server system designed for dense compute environments. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots. The platform targets workloads that benefit from redundant power and integrated hardware RAID in a single rack unit.

Memory ceiling fixed at 96 GB

The installed 96 GB of DDR4 matches the maximum capacity supported by the specific processor configuration, leaving no headroom for future expansion. Twelve slots are populated to reach this limit, so any increase would require a processor change. Buyers who need more than 96 GB of RAM should consider a different server configuration.

Dual 550 W redundant supplies

Two hot-swap 550 W power supplies provide N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. The 1U chassis uses internal fans to cool the dual CPUs, memory, and the PERC H730 RAID controller under normal load. Acoustic output is typical for a 1U rack server in a data-centre aisle.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the H730 controller's 12Gbps rating deliver with eight 2.5-inch drives?

The Perc H730 controller runs at 12Gbps SAS/SATA. With eight hot-plug bays the practical ceiling is the backplane and drive mix; the controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 so aggregate throughput scales with the number and speed of the installed drives.

Which PCIe generation and slot count limit add-in cards in this R430?

The system provides two PCIe 3.0 slots. Any add-in card must fit the 1U height and the electrical budget of those two lanes; no additional expansion slots are present.

What physical space and power connections does the 1U chassis need for installation?

The chassis measures 26.7 by 18.99 by 1.68 inches and weighs 43 lbs. It requires two 550W redundant power supplies fed from separate circuits, and a rail kit (not included) for rack mounting.
