Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports up to two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. This configuration ships with dual 14-core CPUs running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve DIMM slots with a 384 GB maximum capacity. The system provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays managed by a PERC H330 SAS/SATA controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a tower or rack-convertible chassis. Buyers who require more than two installed processors or memory beyond 384 GB will need a different platform. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation.

PERC H330 controls four 960 GB SSDs

The installed PERC H330 storage controller manages four Dell Enterprise 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s solid-state drives in the front bays. Twelve additional 2.5-inch bays remain open for SAS or SATA expansion. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management provide baseline connectivity and out-of-band administration.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum RAM capacity and how many DDR4 slots does the PowerEdge T430 have?

The PowerEdge T430 supports up to 384GB of DDR4 memory across 12 DIMM slots, with 16GB installed as 2x 8GB modules running at 2400MHz.

How loud and hot does the dual 750W PSU setup run under continuous load?

Dual 750W Platinum power supplies share the load efficiently, reducing per-unit heat and fan speed, while redundant hot-swap design maintains cooling if one unit fails.

Which drive interfaces and controller are used for the four 960GB SSDs?

The four 960GB SSDs connect via SATA 6Gb/s to the Dell PERC H330 controller, which also supports SAS for future drive expansion in the 16 hot-swap bays.
