DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 8-core 24GB DDR4 H330

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 E5-2630v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 24 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays. A single 550 W redundant power supply and iDRAC8 remote management are standard.

Suits single-socket workloads with room to grow

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, database or web-serving workloads that fit within a single processor and 24 GB of RAM today. The chassis provides a second CPU socket and twelve DIMM slots, allowing expansion to two processors and up to 384 GB of memory when demand increases. Four onboard 1 GbE ports and two PCIe 3.0 slots handle networking and add-in cards. Buyers who need two processors installed from the start or more than 24 GB of memory out of the box should look elsewhere.

Memory ceiling fixed at 24 GB without upgrade

The decisive specification is the 24 GB maximum memory capacity listed for this specific configuration. Although the platform architecture supports up to 384 GB across twelve slots, this unit is specified with a 24 GB limit, meaning any growth beyond the installed amount requires a configuration change. Verify that your application footprint stays within this boundary before ordering.
