5U Tower Server for Office Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mountable tower server built for small-office and remote-office workloads such as file, print, mail and web serving. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 1 GB SAS/SATA RAID controller with battery backup.

Suits Workgroups Needing Internal 3.5-Inch Storage

This configuration targets teams that require up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies in a single chassis. Integrated dual-port 1 GbE networking and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify deployment in branch offices. Buyers who need more than twelve DIMM slots, a different drive bay count, or a form factor other than 5U should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 14-Core Xeon Processors Define Compute Capacity

The pair of 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs provides 28 total cores at 2.0 GHz base clock, setting the performance ceiling for virtualization, database or collaboration workloads. Memory can expand to 384 GB across the twelve available DDR4 slots when additional capacity is required. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible storage resilience.

Questions about this item

Will this 5U T430 server fit in a standard rack without the plastic feet that are missing?

The chassis is 5U high and designed for standard rack mounting; the supplier notes that plastic feet are not included, so plan to use rack rails or shelves rather than freestanding placement.

How do I install the two E5-2660 v4 processors into the LGA 2011-3 sockets, and what step is commonly missed?

Align each CPU with the socket notches, lower the load plate, and secure the lever; the step often missed is applying thermal paste and attaching the heatsinks before powering on, as the server ships with processors and heatsinks uninstalled.

When will the PERC H730 controller's battery-backed cache need replacement, and how is it done?

The 1 GB cache battery typically lasts several years; when iDRAC 8 Express or the controller BIOS reports a battery fault, power down, open the chassis, unplug the battery module on the H730 card, and snap in a new Dell PERC H730 battery.
