Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are installed for hot-swap SAS or SATA drives.

Suited for virtualization and database roles

The dual-processor configuration and 12 memory slots supporting up to 384 GB DDR4 make this server appropriate for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, SQL Server and file storage workloads. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than two processors, require GPU compute acceleration or need a smaller form factor should evaluate other platforms.

16-bay chassis with 8 trays included

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays but only eight drive trays are supplied with this unit. Additional trays must be sourced separately to populate the remaining bays. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for SAS and SATA devices.

Questions about this item

Will the dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs work with DDR4-2400 ECC memory I already own?

Yes, the server uses DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs across 12 slots, and the installed 16GB consists of 2x 8GB modules of that exact type.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during POST and the iDRAC 8 Express dashboard; both report battery status, firmware version, and any RAID array degradation.

Does the shipment include drive trays for all 16 bays and rails for rack mounting?

The box contains 8x 2.5-inch trays and the front bezel; the remaining 8 trays and ready rails are not included and must be purchased separately.
