Dell PowerEdge R430 1U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 300 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots handle networking and expansion while iDRAC8 provides remote management.

Upgrading from older 1U platforms

This server replaces older 1U systems that lack hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays or hardware RAID with 1 GB cache. The jump is worth it when you need eight 15K SAS spindles in a single rack unit with redundant power and the ability to scale to a second processor and 384 GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots. The H730 controller also adds RAID 50 and 60 for larger arrays.

Verify rack depth, power cables and OS licensing

Before ordering, confirm your rack can accommodate the 26.7-inch depth and that you have appropriate IEC power cables for the single 550 W redundant supply. The unit includes a DVD-ROM drive and rail kit but ships without an operating system. Ensure your hypervisor or application supports the installed Matrox G200eR2 video and the available PCIe 3.0 slot count.

Questions about this item

What rack height and depth does the 1U PowerEdge R430 require?

The server occupies 1U of rack space and measures 26.7 inches long, 18.99 inches wide and 1.68 inches high.

How do you install the 300 GB SAS drives and the H730 controller, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5-inch drive into its hot-plug tray until it clicks, then configure the RAID array in the H730 BIOS before installing an operating system.

Which memory modules can be used to expand the 8 GB DDR4 up to 384 GB?

Use DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs of 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB running up to 2400 MT/s, populating the 12 slots evenly across both processor sockets.
