Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

This 1U Dell PowerEdge R430 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz. It includes 32GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots and three 1.2TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A single 550W redundant power supply and four 1GbE ports complete the base configuration.

Suitable uses and limits

The dual eight-core CPUs and 32GB RAM suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose application workloads needing hot-plug SAS storage in a shallow 1U form factor. Buyers who require more than 32GB of memory or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should consider a larger chassis. The single installed power supply leaves the second bay empty, so sites demanding dual-fed redundancy from day one must add a second unit.

Deciding specification

Maximum installed memory is 32GB with the supplied configuration, though the platform supports up to 384GB when all twelve slots are populated with larger modules. If the target workload fits inside 32GB, this server is ready to deploy; if growth beyond that limit is expected, budget for additional DDR4 DIMMs immediately.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis run with two E5-2630 v3 CPUs and a single 550 W power supply operating continuously?

The 1U rackmount design uses redundant hot-swap cooling; actual acoustic and thermal output depends on workload and ambient temperature.

Which DDR4 memory speed and capacity limits apply if I want to expand the 32 GB already installed?

Twelve DIMM slots support up to 384 GB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4 modules at up to 2400 MT/s, limited by the processor capability.

Can the H330 controller manage my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives alongside the three 1.2 TB 7.2K drives supplied?

Yes, the H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across all eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.
