Dell PowerEdge T430 5U server

This new Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server with 16 drive bays for 2.5-inch drives. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory in two modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Virtualisation hosts and storage-heavy workloads

The dual-processor layout and 12 DIMM slots supporting up to 384 GB of DDR4 suit virtualisation clusters, database servers and backup targets. Sixteen hot-swap bays with SAS and SATA support give dense local storage. Buyers who need more than two processors or more than 384 GB of memory should look elsewhere.

16-bay 2.5-inch chassis with HBA330

The single specification that decides fit is the 16-bay 2.5-inch front end paired with the PERC HBA330 controller, which presents SAS and SATA drives to the operating system without RAID abstraction. This combination determines whether the server matches a direct-attached storage or software-defined storage design.

Questions about this item

What rack space and drive tray count does the T430 require?

The server occupies 5U of rack height and includes four 2.5-inch drive trays for the sixteen hot-swap bays.

How are the Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the two LGA 2011 sockets; the sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory occupy two of twelve slots, so populate remaining slots in matched pairs per channel.

Which components will need replacement first in the PowerEdge T430?

The dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and the HBA330 storage controller are hot-swappable, while the DDR4 ECC registered memory modules and 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives can be added or replaced as capacity demands grow.
