PowerEdge T430 16-Bay 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors and sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P 2GB storage controller. Two 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant power. The system is designed for virtualization, database, and file-storage workloads.

Suited for multi-application virtualization

This configuration fits environments that run VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE and need room for many drives. The dual 12-core CPUs and 384GB maximum memory support dense virtual-machine placement. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive-bay count should evaluate other platforms. The tower form factor also works where rack space is not available.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P handles SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. Sixteen drive trays are included for 2.5-inch media. This controller decides the RAID levels and drive interfaces available to the operating system.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.9 GHz turbo frequency of the Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors hold under continuous all-core workloads?

The two Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs each have 12 cores and a 2.9 GHz turbo rating; sustained all-core speeds depend on the thermal headroom provided by the 5U chassis and dual 750 W power supplies.

How loud and hot does the server become when both 750 W power supplies and all 16 drive bays are active 24/7?

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum supplies and the 5U tower form factor are designed for continuous operation; actual acoustic and thermal output varies with drive count, ambient temperature and workload intensity.

Which memory modules must I already have to populate the remaining slots up to the 384 GB maximum?

The system accepts DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs; twelve slots are available and four are occupied by the factory-installed 32 GB (4 × 8 GB) configuration.
