Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF ships with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz and 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It is built for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or dense storage workloads that need up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID arrays across those bays while iDRAC8 Express provides remote console and power control.

Sustained load behaviour

Two six-core CPUs and 192GB of RAM let the chassis run multiple hypervisor threads or heavy database indexes for hours without throttling. Dual 1100W supplies share the load so a single failure does not drop the platform. The 1Gb dual-port 332T adapter handles steady east-west traffic between cluster members without saturating the bus.

Installation and common issues

Depth of 36 inches and 40-pound weight mean two people or a lift are needed to slide the unit into a standard rack; rails are optional and must be requested. No drives are installed, so the buyer must add SAS disks or SSDs and initialise arrays in the H730 BIOS before the OS sees storage. Memory can grow to 384GB using DDR4 RDIMMs only; mixing generations will prevent boot.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 16SFF chassis get with dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPUs running continuously?

The 16SFF chassis uses dual 1100W supplies and redundant fans to manage heat from the two 2.4GHz Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors during 24/7 operation.

Which drives and caddies do I need to populate the 16 front 2.5in bays?

The PERC H730 SAS controller requires 2.5in SAS drives; 16 drive caddies are needed to fill all front bays.

Will my existing 1GbE network and SAS storage work with the iDRAC8 and PERC H730?

The onboard 332T dual 1GbE adapter and PERC H730 SAS controller integrate directly with existing 1GbE switches and SAS arrays.
