DELL PowerEdge R430 1U Rack Server E5-2650 V3 10C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 H330

Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server designed for environments that need compute density without sacrificing expansion headroom. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The platform supports a second processor and up to 384 GB of total memory across twelve DIMM slots for workloads that grow over time.

Chassis and connectivity

A redundant 550 W hot-swap power supply protects uptime while the 1U form factor fits standard racks. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug drive bays accept SAS or SATA media and connect to a PERC H330 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. Networking is handled by four 1 GbE ports and remote management runs through iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller. Two PCIe 3.0 slots provide room for additional I/O cards.

The capacity gate

Maximum installed memory is listed as 16 GB in the supplied specification, yet the same document notes support for up to 384 GB across twelve slots. Buyers planning large in-memory datasets must verify which limit applies to their configuration before ordering. The server arrives without an operating system, drives or drive trays, so storage capacity and software licensing remain separate decisions.
