Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF rack server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 rack server arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management. It targets businesses needing a configurable platform for virtualisation or database workloads. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC8 Express.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy during continuous operation across the 10-core processor and full memory population. The integrated 1GB dual-port 332T network adapter handles steady traffic without a discrete GPU load. Firmware is updated to the latest stable version and each unit completes a burn-in test before dispatch. Thermal headroom scales with the second processor socket when populated.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your rack depth accommodates the 36-inch chassis length and that 40-pound weight is supported by your rails or shelf. Confirm the PERC H730 controller matches your desired RAID level and that SATA or SAS drives suit the sixteen 2.5-inch bays. Ensure the iDRAC8 Express licence meets your remote management requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 2.3GHz Xeon E5-2650 v3 draw when the server runs continuously?

The single installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 has 10 cores and a 25MB cache; the system ships with dual 1100W power supplies to handle full-load operation.

Which components are missing so the server can boot and store data?

No drives are installed; the 16-bay 2.5" chassis and PERC H730 SAS controller accept SATA drives you must add.

Will my existing SATA drives work with the PERC H730 controller in this T430?

Yes, the H730 supports SATA drives in the 16 front bays, and the iDRAC8 Express remote management works with existing network gear.
