DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 1x Xeon E5-2650 v3 128GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3GHz and ten cores. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 384GB total across its DIMM slots. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Integrated graphics and dual-port 1Gb Ethernet are built in.

Verify rack depth and power before ordering

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight capacity can accommodate it. Two 1100W power supplies are installed; ensure your PDU or UPS can deliver the required current on the available circuits. No drives are included, so plan the quantity and type of SAS drives you need for the PERC H730 controller. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Express; check that your network segment allows access to its dedicated port.

Sixteen hot-swap bays free internal space

The sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch bays let you add SAS drives without consuming PCIe slots, leaving expansion room for additional controllers or networking cards. A second processor socket is empty, allowing a future CPU upgrade to double compute threads. Memory capacity can scale to 384GB when workloads demand more RAM. Rail kits are available separately for secure rack mounting.
