Dell PowerEdge R430 1U Rack Server

A capable enterprise 1U rack server powered by the Intel Xeon E5-2630 V4 10-core processor and 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM — backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and ready to deploy in your data centre or server room.

Key Benefits

• 10-Core Xeon Performance: Intel Xeon E5-2630 V4 Broadwell-EP with 2.2GHz base clock handles multi-threaded server workloads with ease.
• 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM: Error-correcting memory ensures data integrity under sustained load — ideal for virtualisation and databases.
• iDRAC8 Remote Management: Full out-of-band management — power cycle, console access, and health monitoring from anywhere.
• Hot-Swap Drive Bays: Swap failed drives without downtime — critical for production environments.
• Redundant Power Supply: Dual PSU protects against single power failure.
• 4x 1GbE LOM Ports: Quad onboard Gigabit Ethernet for bonding, redundancy, and multi-network segmentation.

Performance in Use

The PowerEdge R430 is a proven workhorse in enterprise and SMB data centres. The Xeon E5-2630 V4's 10 cores and 20 threads make it well-suited to running multiple virtual machines simultaneously — whether VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox. Paired with 64GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, this platform delivers the headroom needed for several concurrent VMs without performance degradation.

For database administrators, the R430 handles MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MSSQL workloads without bottleneck. The 600GB SAS HDD provides reliable local storage and hot-swap bays mean drives can be replaced without scheduling downtime. iDRAC8 lets your IT team manage the server remotely — including firmware updates and hardware health alerts.

The 1U form factor makes it an efficient choice for co-location facilities or rack-dense environments. Redundant PSUs and ECC RAM together reduce unplanned outages, making the R430 a solid platform for internal applications, development environments, or secondary production roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does iDRAC8 require a separate licence?

iDRAC8 Basic is included standard. iDRAC8 Enterprise features (virtual console, vMedia) require a licence key purchased separately. Basic remote power and health monitoring work out of the box.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

Yes. The R430 supports up to 384GB DDR4 ECC across 12 DIMM slots, and the hot-swap drive bays accept additional SAS or SATA drives.

What operating systems are supported?

Windows Server 2012/2016/2019, VMware ESXi 6.x/7.x, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS. Ships without OS installed.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
