Purpose-built 16-bay 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mountable server system designed for enterprise workloads such as virtualization, database hosting, and file storage. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC HBA330 storage controller.

Suited for expandable storage deployments

This configuration suits IT teams that need sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays for SAS or SATA drives and room to grow memory up to 384 GB across twelve slots. Redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require the front bezel or ready rails included in the box should evaluate other platforms, as those items are not supplied.

HBA330 controller defines drive support

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s controller provides SAS and SATA connectivity for the sixteen drive bays without onboard RAID processing. This determines which drive types and software RAID configurations are possible. The server includes two integrated 1 GbE ports and PCI Express slots for additional networking or storage cards.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5" SAS or SATA drives for the 16 drive bays?

Yes, the server ships without any installed hard drives or SSDs, so you must provide up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.

Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs work alongside the 128GB already installed?

The system has twelve memory slots total and eight are occupied; you can add compatible DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules up to the 384GB maximum.

How can I confirm the PERC HBA330 controller sees every drive after installation?

Use the iDRAC 8 Express interface or the controller BIOS during boot to verify that all connected SAS or SATA drives are detected and report healthy status.
