Dense 1U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R430 packs a single Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz into a one-rack-unit chassis. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and eight hot-plug 300 GB 15 K SAS drives deliver immediate capacity for virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Redundant 550 W power supplies and the Perc H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache keep the platform running through component failures. IT teams needing a compact, ready-to-rack server for mixed workloads will find the core specifications aligned to that role.

RAID flexibility and remote control

The H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, letting administrators tune redundancy and performance per workload without extra hardware. Four onboard 1 GbE ports handle management and data traffic, while iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller provides out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and remote console access. A DVD-ROM drive and two PCIe 3.0 slots remain available for media installs or specialised adapters. These bundled features reduce the need for separate management appliances or add-in cards.

Single-socket memory ceiling

Only one processor is installed, so the twelve DIMM slots operate in a six-channel mode limited to the first CPU; maximum supported memory stays at 384 GB until a second Xeon is added. Buyers who need larger memory footprints or dual-socket throughput must plan a processor upgrade before the platform can reach its full capacity.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 modules and how many slots are available for future memory upgrades?

The server has 12 DIMM slots supporting 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB DDR4 modules up to 2400MT/s, with a maximum capacity of 384GB when both processors are installed.

Which component limits sustained performance first, the 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2630 v3 or the 15K SAS drives?

The eight 300GB 15K SAS drives deliver high IOPS but their 6Gbps interface and mechanical latency typically become the bottleneck before the eight-core 2.4GHz processor saturates.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with the single 550W redundant supply running 24/7?

A single 550W redundant supply in a 1U form factor means higher fan speeds; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust under continuous load.
