Rack Server With Dual Xeon E5-2683 v4 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller supporting up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. The unit includes dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Express for remote management. This configuration is sold without installed drives.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Needing Dense Storage

This server suits administrators who want a two-socket platform with sixteen hot-plug bays for SATA or SAS media and integrated 1GbE networking. It is not for buyers who require GPU acceleration, 10GbE connectivity, or a tower form factor. The maximum memory ceiling of 384GB also limits workloads that need larger in-memory datasets.

PERC H730 SAS Controller Decides Drive Compatibility

The installed PERC H730 SAS controller governs which drives can be used and what RAID levels are available. It supports SATA and SAS interfaces across the sixteen front bays. Buyers must match their storage selection to this controller because the system ships with no drives and no alternative controller is present.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 SFF drive bays accept 2.5 inch SAS and SATA drives?

Yes, the 16 SFF bays are designed for 2.5 inch drives using SAS or SATA interfaces via the PERC H730 controller.

How do I install the rail kit for this 36 x 24 x 10 inch rack server?

Mount the inner rails to the server sides first, then attach the outer rails to the rack posts; the step often missed is securing the inner rails before lifting the 40 unit into place.

What DDR4 memory can I add later to reach the 384GB maximum?

Add DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs to the empty slots; the system currently has 256GB installed and supports up to 384GB total capacity.
