DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 1x Xeon E5-2650 v3 384GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server fitted with one Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays, making it suitable for virtualisation hosts or database workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity. The system ships without storage drives, allowing you to populate the bays with SAS disks that match your performance and capacity requirements.

Sustained-load behaviour with 10-core CPU

Under continuous load the single 10-core Xeon processor delivers steady multi-threaded throughput while the 384 GB DDR4 memory pool remains fully populated at the platform maximum. Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy so the server maintains operation if one unit fails. The iDRAC8 Express remote management controller stays accessible for monitoring temperatures, fan speeds and power draw during extended compute tasks without needing physical console access.

Pre-order compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis weighing 40 lb and that you have appropriate rail kits if they are not already installed. Confirm the SAS backplane and PERC H730 controller support the specific drive models you plan to use, and ensure your network infrastructure provides 1 GbE connectivity for the dual-port 332T adapter. Remember that storage drives are not included and must be sourced separately.
