1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core 1.6Ghz processor into a 1U chassis with redundant hot-swap power. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays come populated with 300GB 15K SAS drives on a Perc H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50/60. Installed memory is 8GB DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots.

Perc H330 controller enables flexible RAID

The H330 12Gbps RAID controller lets administrators choose from RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60 across the eight installed 300GB SAS drives. Hot-plug bays and included trays allow drive replacement without downtime. A DVD-ROM drive is also fitted for media-based installs or recovery tasks.

Single-socket design limits total memory

Only one processor is installed, so the twelve DDR4 slots operate in six-channel mode for that CPU and maximum system memory stays at 384GB. Buyers needing dual-socket capacity or more than 384GB of RAM should select a different configuration.

Questions about this item

Can I add more DDR4 memory later, and how many DIMM slots are free?

The server has 12 DIMM slots and currently uses 8GB. You can populate the remaining slots with DDR4 modules up to 32GB each, reaching 384GB total.

What limits the eight 300GB 15K SAS drives during sustained writes?

The H330 controller runs at 12Gbps, while each drive tops out at 6Gbps, so the drive interface is the first bottleneck under heavy write loads.

How much heat and noise should I expect from the single 550W supply running 24/7?

With one 550W redundant supply and a 1.6GHz six-core Xeon, the system draws modest power; typical 1U rack noise is noticeable but not extreme in a server room.
