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 E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots. Three 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller provide high-speed storage in up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays.

Suited for general-purpose workloads.

This configuration fits small databases, file and print serving, or light virtualisation clusters that benefit from fast 15K SAS spindles. The single installed processor leaves one socket open for future expansion, and the 48 GB memory ceiling limits the number of concurrent virtual machines. Buyers who need more than 48 GB of RAM, dual processors from day one, or more than eight drive bays should look at larger platforms.

Memory capped at 48 GB with DDR4

The system board offers 12 DDR4 slots but the specification lists a maximum capacity of 48 GB, so no further memory upgrades are possible beyond the installed amount. This hard limit is the key figure when sizing workloads for this server.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H330 controller run at, and what drive throughput does that cap?

The H330 controller operates at 12Gbps SAS, which caps the connected 600GB 15K drives at their native 6Gbps link speed.

What rack depth and rail clearance does the 1U chassis require?

The chassis is 26.7 inches deep and 1.68 inches high, so it fits a standard 1U rack space with at least 26.7 inches of usable depth and matching rail kit.

How is the H330 RAID array configured, and which step is often missed?

Press Ctrl+R during POST to enter the H330 BIOS, create the virtual disk, then initialise it; the step often missed is the initialisation before installing an OS.
