Dell PowerEdge R430 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and three 1 TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. A 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Small-business virtualisation and file services

This server suits organisations that need a compact, hot-plug 2.5-inch platform for light virtualisation, file serving or backup targets with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who require more than 8 GB of memory, additional CPU sockets populated, or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core 1.6 GHz processor

The installed CPU provides six cores at 1.6 GHz and limits the system to one processor unless a second is added. Memory speed is tied to this processor's capability, and the board offers twelve DDR4 DIMM slots with a 384 GB maximum when both sockets are filled. This core count and clock speed determine whether the R430 meets the workload's compute requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5 inch drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each Dell 1 TB 7.2K SATA drive into one of the eight hot-plug bays until the carrier clicks, then configure the desired RAID level on the H730 controller before loading any operating system.

What maintenance or replacement will the server need later?

The single 550 W redundant power supply and the DVD ROM drive are the only moving parts likely to require replacement after extended operation.

What limit appears first when the Xeon E5-2603 v3 runs at full load for long periods?

The six-core 1.6 GHz processor reaches its thermal ceiling before the 550 W power supply or the 1U cooling capacity is exceeded.
