Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3GHz, delivering 40 threads in a single rack unit. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives. A single 550W redundant power supply, four 1GbE ports, iDRAC8 remote management and a Matrox G200 video adapter complete the platform.

Fit and limits

This server suits organisations that need high thread density in minimal rack space, want hardware RAID with hot-plug drive bays and rely on iDRAC8 for lights-out management. It is not for buyers who need more than 32GB of memory from the factory, who require additional PCIe expansion beyond two 3.0 slots, who want GPU compute capability or who must populate every drive bay immediately because no drives or trays are included.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling of 32GB is the single figure that determines suitability; the system arrives at its maximum configured capacity even though the chipset and 12 DIMM slots can address up to 384GB when larger modules are sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SAS or SATA drives into the 8 hot-plug bays, and what step do people miss?

Slide each drive into a tray until it clicks, insert the tray into the bay until the lever locks, then configure the desired RAID level on the H330 controller; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk before installing an OS.

What maintenance or replacement will the DDR4 memory need later?

The 32GB of DDR4 uses 4 of the 12 DIMM slots; to reach the 384GB maximum you add matching DDR4 modules in sets of 6 per processor, and you replace any module that shows ECC errors.

What limit appears first when both E5-2650v3 CPUs run at 2.3GHz under sustained load?

The single 550W redundant power supply caps total system draw, so prolonged full-core turbo on all 20 cores can hit the power budget before thermal limits.
