DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 384GB DDR4 rack server

Rack server with sixteen 2.5" bays

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a dual-socket rack system designed for dense storage and virtualisation workloads. Two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors deliver forty-four cores at 2.2 GHz with 55 MB cache each. The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS drives and ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory at its maximum capacity. A PERC H730 controller and dual 1100 W supplies complete the base configuration.

Suits compute-heavy workloads needing maximum memory

This configuration targets databases, virtualisation hosts and analytics clusters that benefit from high core counts and full memory population. The integrated graphics and 1 GbE 332T adapter handle basic management and network duties. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, faster networking or drive bays beyond the sixteen 2.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms. The rack form factor also requires a suitable cabinet or shelf.

Memory fixed at 384 GB DDR4

Installed RAM already reaches the platform limit of 384 GB across twenty-four slots, leaving no room for future expansion. The DDR4 ECC registered modules are matched to the Xeon v4 memory controllers and cannot be swapped for other generations. Any project that anticipates memory growth beyond this ceiling must select a different server architecture.
