Purpose-built tower server for virtualisation

This Dell PowerEdge T430 arrives in a 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis with a single Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor running at 2.6GHz and 14 cores. It ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed at the platform maximum. The PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are fitted, while drive bays remain empty for your own SAS media.

Rack-mount installation with optional rail kit

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so two-person handling or a mechanical lift is advised. Slide rails are available on request and simplify alignment in standard cabinets. The iDRAC8 Express remote-management port is active after the firmware refresh, allowing headless BIOS access and power cycling without a local console. Missing drives are the only common omission; add SAS disks before first boot to avoid a controller configuration halt.

Maximum memory capacity fixed at 384GB DDR4

The system board reaches its architectural limit with the 384GB already populated, so no further RAM expansion is possible. Buyers who need more memory per node must select a different platform. The single-socket configuration leaves one processor socket free for a future upgrade to a second compatible Xeon, doubling core count within the same 384GB ceiling.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller is functioning after initial setup?

During POST the controller initialises and displays its firmware version; you can also log into iDRAC8 Express and confirm the controller status shows Optimal with all 16 drive bays detected.

What components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor, 384 GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory, a PERC H730 RAID controller, dual 1100 W power supplies and a 2-port 1 GbE 332T adapter; 2.5-inch SAS drives and rail kit are not included.

Which memory configuration matches the 384 GB installed capacity?

The system arrives fully populated at the 384 GB DDR4 maximum, so no additional modules are required or supported beyond this factory configuration.
