Dell XC430 Xpress 1U Rack Server Xeon E5-2609 V4 128GB 6TB SAS HDD HCI | Wty
Dell XC430 Xpress 1U HCI Rack Server
A 1U Hyper-Converged Infrastructure appliance from Dell — powered by an Intel Xeon E5-2609 V4 8-core processor, 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM, and 6TB SAS HDD storage — designed for VMware vSAN, Nutanix, or Microsoft S2D deployments. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- HCI-optimised platform — Dell XC430 Xpress designed for VMware vSAN, Nutanix AOS, or Microsoft S2D
- Xeon E5-2609 V4 8-core — Broadwell-EP processor for solid virtualisation throughput in a 1U chassis
- 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM — large memory footprint supports multiple concurrent VMs with stability
- 6TB SAS HDD storage — substantial capacity for vSAN datastore or distributed storage pools
- iDRAC8 management — out-of-band remote management, BIOS control, and hardware monitoring
- 12-month warranty — professionally tested and warranted by Reboot IT, Melbourne since 2001
Performance in Use
The Dell XC430 Xpress was engineered as an HCI building block — a tightly integrated compute-and-storage node that simplifies the deployment of software-defined infrastructure. In a VMware vSAN cluster, two or more XC430 nodes pool their storage and compute resources into a single, resilient datastore. With 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM per node, this platform supports meaningful VM density for SMB or branch-office virtualisation workloads.
The Xeon E5-2609 V4 delivers 8 physical cores at 1.7GHz — suited to virtualised environments where consistent throughput across many VMs matters more than peak single-thread speed. Paired with 6TB of SAS storage, this node provides a practical starting point for a vSAN or Nutanix cluster, or can be added to an existing cluster to scale capacity and compute.
The 1U form factor, hot-swap drives, redundant PSU, and 10GbE networking make this server a practical choice for data centres and colocation environments. iDRAC8 allows full remote management without needing physical access to the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this server come with HCI software pre-installed?
No — the XC430 Xpress ships as hardware only. VMware vSAN, Nutanix AOS, or Microsoft S2D licensing and installation are the buyer's responsibility.
Can this server be used as a standalone server (not HCI)?
Yes — while optimised for HCI, the XC430 can be used as a standard rack server running any supported OS.
What is iDRAC8?
iDRAC8 is Dell's out-of-band management interface, allowing remote BIOS access, KVM-over-IP, power cycling, and hardware health monitoring via a dedicated management port.
What are the shipping costs?
Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
12-Month Warranty — Reboot IT
Every Dell XC430 Xpress server sold by Reboot IT is fully tested across all hardware subsystems before dispatch. Backed by a 12-month warranty against hardware faults. Reboot IT has been Melbourne's trusted source of certified refurbished enterprise servers since 2001. Visit reboot-it.com.au.
