PowerEdge R430 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built for density-focused workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The system targets small-to-medium deployments needing compute and local storage in a single rack unit.

Hot-plug bays and redundant power

Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays sit behind the front panel, each populated with a 300 GB 15 K SAS drive on a tray. The Dell PERC H330 12 Gbps RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. A single 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply keeps the chassis running if one module fails.

Memory ceiling and PCIe 3.0 limit

The board offers 12 DIMM slots but the installed processor caps usable memory at 384 GB, so the 8 GB shipped is far below the platform maximum. Only two PCIe 3.0 slots are available, restricting add-in cards such as extra network adapters or GPU accelerators. Four 1 GbE ports handle baseline connectivity without consuming a slot.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H330 12Gbps controller support on this server?

The H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across the installed SAS drives.

Which rail kit is required to mount this 1U rack server in a standard cabinet?

The chassis measures 26.7 inches deep by 18.99 inches wide by 1.68 inches high and uses Dell ready rails for 1U mounting.

How do I install an additional processor in the second socket and what is the common mistake?

Install the second Xeon in the empty socket, populate its six DIMM slots with matched DDR4 modules, and enable the CPU in BIOS; the step often missed is adding memory for the new processor.
