DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 64GB DDR4 H330 16× 2.5″ Trays 2× 750W

Dual 14-Core Xeon 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It targets businesses that need a dedicated platform for virtualization, database hosting, or file services without committing to a full rack cabinet. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across four modules. Buyers who need more than two physical CPUs or integrated GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Memory Headroom and Storage Flexibility

Installed memory totals 64 GB using DDR4-2400 modules, while the board provides 12 DIMM slots and supports up to 384 GB total capacity. This leaves eight open slots for straightforward expansion as workloads grow. The Dell PERC H330 controller manages the 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive trays, accepting SAS, SATA, and SSD media in any mix. No drives are included, so storage capacity starts at zero and scales with the chosen media.

Redundant Power and Remote Management

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-rated power supplies provide full redundancy, allowing one unit to fail or be replaced without downtime. The integrated iDRAC 8 Express controller delivers out-of-band remote management for deployment, monitoring, and firmware updates over the network. Dual onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports handle baseline connectivity, while PCIe slots remain available for additional network or storage adapters. Front bezel and rack rails are not included, so plan for separate mounting hardware if rack installation is intended.
