    Description

    The Dell PowerEdge R430 is a two-socket, 1U rack server engineered for high-performance computing (HPC), scale-out infrastructure, and virtualization workloads. It accommodates Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 processors—delivering up to 20 cores per socket—and up to 12 DDR4 DIMM slots for a maximum of 384 GB of RAM, accelerating memory-intensive applications and in-memory databases Dell.

    Its short-depth chassis (24″/607 mm without bezel) fits into dense rack environments, while support for up to ten 2.5″ hot-plug SAS/SATA/NVMe drives enables high-IOPS, low-latency storage configurations—up to 20 TB of raw capacity or more with SSDs Dell. Dual PCIe 3.0 slots provide expansion for additional NICs, HBAs, or accelerators, doubling data throughput compared to previous generationsDell.

    Embedded Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) with Lifecycle Controller offers agent-free deployment, firmware updates, and out-of-band management via OpenManage Essentials or Mobile—minimizing downtime and IT overhead Dell . Fresh Air 2.0 certification allows operation at higher inlet temperatures, cutting cooling costs in modern data centers .

    Key Features

    • Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3/v4 CPUs with up to 20 cores per socket for parallel processing Dell

    • Up to 12 DDR4 DIMM Slots supporting 2133/2400 MT/s ECC memory (384 GB max) for memory-heavy workloads 

    • High-Density Storage: Up to 10× 2.5″ hot-plug SAS/SATA/NVMe drives for low-latency I/O Dell

    • Short-Depth 1U Chassis (607 mm/24″) to fit space-constrained racks

    • Dual PCIe 3.0 Slots for NICs, HBAs, or accelerator cards; 2× data throughput vs. PCIe 2.0

    • Embedded iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller for comprehensive, agent-free server management

    • Fresh Air 2.0 Certification enabling inlet temperatures up to 45 °C to reduce cooling expenses

    Usage Scenarios

    For high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, the R430’s dual-socket design and up to 384 GB of DDR4 memory accelerate parallel computations, scientific modeling, and big-data analytics, while its short chassis maximizes rack density Dell.

    In web and scale-out infrastructure, the combination of up to ten 2.5″ NVMe or SAS drives and dual PCIe 3.0 slots enables low-latency databases, caching layers, and microservices deployments, supporting thousands of concurrent requests with minimal footprint.

    As a dedicated backup or development server, the R430’s Fresh Air 2.0 rating and redundant power supplies reduce operational costs and risk, while embedded iDRAC8 ensures smooth remote patching, configuration cloning, and health monitoring across distributed sites.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1: What is the maximum memory supported by the R430?
    A1: The R430 supports up to 12 DDR4 DIMMs at 2133/2400 MT/s, for a total of 384 GB of ECC memory.

    Q2: Which RAID controller provides the best performance?
