1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets workloads that need a compact rack footprint and hardware RAID without a full-depth chassis. Buyers who want more storage bays or dual-processor performance should look elsewhere.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives and the installed H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Three 300 GB 15K SAS drives ship pre-loaded in trays. A single 550 W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management simplify day-to-day administration in a 1U form factor.

Verify rack depth and memory ceiling

The chassis measures 26.7 inches deep, so confirm your rack can accommodate that length before ordering. Maximum memory capacity is 16 GB across twelve DIMM slots, limiting future expansion. The system ships without an operating system and provides two PCIe 3.0 slots for additional cards.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730 controller support and what does that limit for the installed drives?

The H730 controller runs at 12 Gbps SAS while the three 300 GB drives are 6 Gbps SAS, so the drives will operate at their native 6 Gbps speed.

What rack depth and mounting hardware are required to install this 1U server?

The chassis is 26.7 inches deep and 1.68 inches high; it fits a standard rack and ships with a rail kit for mounting.

How is the PERC H730 RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730 plugs into a PCIe 3.0 slot inside the chassis; the step often missed is connecting its dedicated battery or capacitor module to enable write-back caching.
