PowerEdge R430 1U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 1 TB 7.2K SATA 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 dense compute, not maximum memory

This server fits environments that need two-socket performance in a single rack unit with hardware RAID across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays. The installed memory reaches the 16 GB ceiling supported by the current processors, so buyers who need more RAM capacity cannot expand without a CPU change. Teams requiring 10 GbE networking or more than two PCIe 3.0 slots should evaluate other platforms.

H730 controller defines storage flexibility

The PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SATA or SAS drives in the eight-bay chassis. This single component determines which drive types, redundancy levels and performance profiles are available. Verify that the controller feature set matches your storage plan before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 GB DDR4 memory need to be replaced to reach the 384 GB maximum?

Yes, the 12 DIMM slots support up to 384 GB using 32 GB DDR4 modules, so the installed 16 GB must be expanded with additional sticks.

What limits sustained performance first in the 1U chassis?

The 1U form factor and single 550 W redundant power supply constrain cooling and power headroom before the dual E5-2630 v3 CPUs reach thermal limits.

How loud and hot does the server get running 24/7?

High-speed 1U fans needed to cool two CPUs and the H730 controller generate noticeable noise, and the 550 W power supply exhausts significant heat into the rack.
