Dell PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

This 1U rack server is built for organisations that need a compact, redundant platform for virtualisation, database or file workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to two processors and twelve DIMM slots for future expansion.

PERC H730 RAID controller

The integrated PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the three included 1.2 TB 7.2K SAS drives. Eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays allow additional SAS or SATA drives to be added without downtime. A DVD-ROM drive and iDRAC8 remote management are also fitted.

Single processor limits maximum memory to 384 GB

With one CPU installed the system can address up to 384 GB of DDR4 across six active DIMM slots per processor. Buyers who need the full 16 TB raw capacity or the maximum 384 GB memory ceiling must add a second compatible Xeon processor. The 550 W redundant power supply and four 1 GbE ports remain unchanged.

Questions about this item

Will the 16GB DDR4 need replacing if I add a second processor?

The 16GB DDR4 is installed in the first processor's six slots; adding a second processor adds another six slots so you can keep the original memory and expand up to 384GB total.

Which component caps performance first when all eight 2.5-inch bays are filled with 1.2TB SAS drives?

The H730 controller handles 12Gbps SAS and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, while the drives run at 6Gbps 7.2K, so the drive interface speed is the first bottleneck under sustained load.

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

The single 550W redundant power supply and 1U chassis use high-RPM fans to cool the E5-2603v3 and three SAS drives, producing noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust in continuous operation.
