Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 arrives as a 16-bay 2.5-inch rackmount server powered by a single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports a maximum of 384GB across its DIMM slots. This configuration suits organisations that need dense storage capacity in a 2U form factor without pre-installed drives.

PERC H730 RAID Controller & iDRAC8 Express

The bundled PERC H730 SAS controller provides hardware RAID across the 16 SATA or SAS drive bays, enabling redundancy levels that protect data without consuming host CPU cycles. Integrated iDRAC8 Express delivers out-of-band remote management for power control, console redirection and firmware updates over a dedicated 1GbE port. Both components are factory-updated to the latest firmware before shipment.

1GbE Dual-Port Network & Dual 1100W Supplies

Network connectivity is limited to the onboard 2-port 332T adapter, providing two 1GbE links with no 10GbE or 25GbE options unless additional mezzanine cards are sourced separately. The chassis includes two 1100W power supplies for redundancy, yet the single-CPU configuration leaves the second processor socket unpopulated, capping compute throughput at 16 cores until a matching Xeon is added. Buyers needing higher core counts or faster networking must plan upgrades accordingly.

Questions about this item

How many additional 2.5-inch drive bays can I populate later?

The chassis supports up to 16 drive bays in total, so you can add the remaining slots as your storage needs grow.

Which component will reach its ceiling first when the server runs at full load continuously?

Installed memory sits at 256GB against a 384GB maximum, so RAM capacity is the first hard limit you will hit.

What are the power draw and thermal characteristics with both 1100W supplies running 24/7?

Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy; the system draws only what the 2.1GHz Xeon and 256GB DDR4 require, and fans scale automatically.
