Dell PowerEdge T430 rack server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 16-bay 2.5-inch rack server designed for businesses needing dense storage and compute in a standard rack footprint. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processor running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its DIMM slots. Integrated graphics and a PERC H730 SAS controller handle video and storage duties respectively.

Check rack space and power before ordering

Verify you have 36 by 24 by 10 inches of clear rack depth, width and height for this 40-unit chassis. The unit requires two 1100W power supplies, so confirm your rack PDU can deliver the necessary current and connector type. Ensure your network infrastructure supports the dual-port 1GbE 332T adapter for management and data traffic. The iDRAC8 Express licence is included for remote access but may need activation for advanced features.

Fits standard racks and frees drive bays

The 16SFF chassis accepts up to sixteen 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, leaving all bays open for your chosen capacity and redundancy layout. A second processor socket is available to double compute threads when workloads grow beyond the single 14-core CPU. Memory can expand to 384GB total using DDR4 registered modules. Rail kits are available separately to simplify rack mounting and service access.

Questions about this item

Does the 16SFF chassis ship with any 2.5 inch drives or must I supply them?

The server includes no drives; the 16 hot-swap bays are empty and you add SATA or SAS drives yourself.

Is the single Xeon E5-2690 v4 with 14 cores and 35MB cache sufficient or should I order the second processor?

One 14-core processor at 2.6GHz handles many workloads; a second CPU doubles cores and enables the full 384GB memory limit.

How does the installed 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory relate to the 384GB maximum?

256GB is already populated across the DIMM slots; reaching 384GB requires adding a second processor to unlock the remaining memory channels.
