Dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 18-core server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays provide dense internal storage capacity.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This configuration targets virtualization platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox, along with database hosting and file services. The dual-socket design and 12 DIMM slots supporting up to 384 GB DDR4 give headroom for memory-heavy guests. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread performance beyond the 3.3 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. The 16 drive trays accept 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or SSD media, letting you match capacity and speed to the workload.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 5U server require?

The chassis occupies 5U of rack space; an optional conversion kit is needed to mount it in a standard rack.

How are the two Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011 sockets are populated; the second CPU requires its own memory modules and the correct power cable connection, which is frequently overlooked.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 2 GB RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years; replace it when iDRAC 8 reports a battery health warning.
