DELL PowerEdge R430 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 48GB DDR4 H730

1U rack server with Xeon E5-2650 v3

The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor. It delivers ten cores at 2.3 GHz with twenty virtual threads for virtualisation and multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It targets IT teams that need dense compute in a single rack unit.

Sustained load behaviour with redundant power

A 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply keeps the server running if one unit fails, protecting uptime during continuous operation. The H730 controller provides 1 GB cache and 12 Gbps throughput to maintain consistent disk performance under heavy I/O. Four 1 GbE ports supply steady network bandwidth for storage replication or cluster heartbeats. The Matrox G200 graphics core handles remote console sessions without taxing the CPU.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack accepts a 1U chassis measuring 26.7 inches deep and 18.99 inches wide. The server supports up to eight 2.5 inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, but no trays or drives are included. Memory can expand to 384 GB across twelve DIMM slots when a second processor is added. Two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for additional network or storage cards. iDRAC8 Express is fitted; Enterprise features require a licence upgrade.
