Dell PowerEdge R430 — Full Technical Specifications

The R430 is the short-depth thirteenth-generation rack server: two sockets in a shallow chassis built for cabinets that are not full depth, which is most cabinets outside a data centre. Comms rooms, retail back offices and broadcast racks are its natural home, and that is still where the used ones come from.

This model is listed refurbished only.

Full Specifications

The depth figure in the dimensions row is not a footnote on this model — it is the reason the machine exists, and it is the first thing to check against the cabinet it is going into. From there, the bay row offers hot-plug and cabled builds in both drive formats; the cabled one is cheaper and means a stop for every drive change, which matters more in a branch with no engineer than in a room with one. Onboard networking is fixed rather than modular on this model, so what you see in that row is what the machine has. The management row names the generation's remote console, which is what makes an unattended site workable at all.
