DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-core 128GB DDR4 H330 4× 1.92TB SATA 2× 750W

Dual 14-core Xeon server for virtualization

This 5U Dell PowerEdge T430 ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Twenty-eight total cores and 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight DIMM slots provide a solid foundation for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters. The system targets organisations that need dependable compute density for database hosting, private-cloud infrastructure or software-defined storage without stepping up to newer generation hardware.

Sixteen 2.5-inch bays

The chassis offers sixteen hot-swap drive bays supporting SAS and SATA media; four 1.92 TB enterprise SATA SSDs are installed behind a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s controller. Twelve memory slots remain free to reach the 384 GB maximum, and PCI Express slots are available for additional RAID, networking or accelerator cards. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power, while the integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter and iDRAC 8 Express handle basic connectivity and remote management out of the box.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Under continuous load the dual 14-core CPUs maintain their 2.0 GHz base clock across all twenty-eight threads, with turbo bins up to 3.2 GHz available when thermal conditions allow. ECC DDR4-2400 memory corrects single-bit errors on the fly, preserving data integrity during long-running database or backup jobs. The platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant cooling keep the platform stable during extended virtualization or SDS workloads, while iDRAC monitoring lets administrators track thermals and power draw without interrupting service.
