PowerEdge T430 5U dual-Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are installed in the 16-bay chassis, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, Microsoft SQL Server instances, or file and print services that benefit from 24 total cores and up to 384 GB of memory. The dual 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify fleet administration. Buyers who need more than 16 drive bays, a different storage controller, or a tower form factor without rack rails should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 with 32 GB DDR4

The decisive specification is the pair of 12-core Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs combined with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory on an LGA 2011 platform. This determines whether the server matches the compute and memory requirements of the intended workload before additional drives or expansion cards are added.

Questions about this item

What drive trays and backplane does the T430 include so I can populate the 16-bay chassis?

The server ships with eight 2.5″ Dell EMC 13G drive trays and a PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; the remaining eight bays need additional trays.

Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs work with the two E5-2650 v4 CPUs already installed?

Yes, the board has twelve DDR4 slots running at 2400 MT/s; the 32 GB (4 × 8 GB) installed uses that standard and supports up to 384 GB total.

How do I confirm the H330 controller and both 750 W power supplies are healthy after first boot?

Open iDRAC 8 Express during POST — it shows controller firmware status, drive detection, and dual PSU redundancy with platinum efficiency.
