Enterprise Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each with 18 cores running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC HBA330 controller driving four 960 GB SATA SSDs. This configuration targets businesses running virtualization, databases, or file storage workloads that need room for up to sixteen 2.5-inch drives.

Thermals and Power

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide redundant power for the 5U chassis. The tower form factor allows generous airflow through the front drive bays and over the dual-socket motherboard, keeping the 18-core processors within thermal limits under sustained load. Fan speeds scale with inlet temperature, so noise remains typical for a rack-dense enterprise server in a cooled environment.

Storage Capacity Limit

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, yet only four 960 GB SSDs are installed and the HBA330 controller presents them over a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface. Buyers who need the full 16-bay capacity must source additional drives separately, and the current memory population leaves eight of twelve DDR4 slots open for future expansion up to 384 GB.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 4× 960 GB SSDs into the 16-bay 2.5" chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each SSD into a front hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is configuring the drives in the HBA330 BIOS or OS so the controller presents them to the installer.

What maintenance or replacement will the 2× 750 W power supplies need later?

They are hot-swap redundant units; if one fails you pull it out and insert a replacement Dell 750 W Platinum supply without powering down the server.

What limit appears first when both 18-core Xeon E5-2695 v4 CPUs run at 3.3 GHz Turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W power-supply ceiling is reached before thermal throttling, so sustained all-core turbo on both sockets is limited by available wattage.
