Dell PowerEdge R430 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis includes eight hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 15 K SAS drives and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. A single 550 W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management are fitted.

Suits workloads needing dense SAS storage

This configuration fits organisations that want high spindle-count SAS storage in a 1U form factor with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need more than two PCIe 3.0 slots for additional controllers or accelerators should look at a larger chassis. The single-socket layout also limits maximum memory to 384 GB, so environments requiring higher per-node capacity will need a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS bays

The defining specification is the eight-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the PERC H730 12 Gbps RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This combination determines whether the server can deliver the IOPS and redundancy profile your workload requires.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller is managing the eight 300 GB SAS drives correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC8 interface or boot into the H730 BIOS utility to confirm all eight drives appear, the desired RAID level is active, and no degraded or failed states are reported.

Which items are included in the box and which must be purchased separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2603 v3 processor, 8 GB DDR4, eight 300 GB 15 K SAS drives in trays, H730 controller, DVD drive, one 550 W redundant power supply, power cable and rails; OS, keyboard, mouse, video cable, bezel, empty trays and a second CPU are not included.

Should I choose the single E5-2603 v3 configuration or add a second processor for my workload?

The board supports two CPUs; adding a second E5-2603 v3 doubles core count to twelve and raises maximum memory to 384 GB, so select dual-processor if you need more parallel threads or larger memory capacity.
