Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 16-bay rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller. It is sold without drives, allowing custom capacity configuration.

Suits storage-heavy roles not GPU compute

This configuration fits organisations needing maximum 2.5-inch drive density in a 2U footprint for databases, virtualisation hosts or backup targets. The single CPU and integrated graphics limit performance for heavily threaded compute or any workload requiring discrete GPU acceleration. Buyers who need more than 256GB RAM or dual-processor throughput should look at a different chassis.

16 x 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives connected to the PERC H730 controller. This bay count is the primary constraint on total raw storage and RAID layout options. No drives are installed, so the final capacity and performance depend entirely on the drives selected during configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H730 SAS controller support the SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the PERC H730 SAS controller accepts SATA drives, so existing 2.5" SATA drives can be installed in the 16 drive bays.

Will my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules work with the 256GB already installed?

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 384GB total, so compatible modules can fill the remaining capacity.

How do I confirm the iDRAC8 Express remote management is active after setup?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, power on the server, and access the iDRAC web interface using the IP shown on the front LCD panel.
