Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a single-processor 1U rack server equipped with an Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core CPU at 1.6GHz, 48GB of DDR4 memory and three 1TB 7.2K SATA drives on a PERC H730 RAID controller. It targets IT teams that need a compact, redundant platform for virtualisation, file services or light database workloads.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 550W redundant hot-swap power supply and eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays keep the system running during drive or power-module replacement. The H730 controller with 1GB cache maintains RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 throughput while the 12 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 384GB when a second processor is added.

Deciding specification

Maximum installed memory is 48GB with the current single-processor configuration; the board supports 384GB only after a second Xeon is fitted. Buyers who need more memory headroom without adding a CPU should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 550W redundant power supply generate under continuous load?

The 1U chassis uses a single 550W redundant supply with integrated fans; actual acoustic and thermal output varies with workload and inlet temperature.

Which components are not included and must be supplied separately for the server to operate?

An operating system, rail kit, bezel, empty drive trays, mouse, keyboard and monitor are not included.

Will the two PCIe 3.0 slots accept older PCIe 2.0 expansion cards I already own?

Yes, the two PCIe 3.0 slots are backward-compatible with PCIe 2.0 cards at 2.0 speeds.
