Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores running at 2.2GHz with a 2.9GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays provide high-density storage capacity in a 5U form factor.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

The dual 12-core configuration and 128GB DDR4 suit virtualisation platforms, database workloads and file-serving roles. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers needing more than 384GB total memory, more than two processors, or drive bays beyond the sixteen 2.5-inch trays should consider larger platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch trays connected to the PERC H330 controller, which supports SAS and SATA drives. This bay count determines how many drives can be installed without external enclosures. Expansion beyond sixteen internal drives requires additional hardware not included with this server.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy any 2.5" SAS or SATA drives to use the 16 drive trays?

Yes, the server ships with 16 empty 2.5" trays and the PERC H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives, so you must supply your own drives.

Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs work alongside the 128GB already installed?

The system has 12 DIMM slots total; 8 are filled with 16GB modules, leaving 4 slots free for additional DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory up to 384GB.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

During POST the BIOS will list two 12-core processors at 2.2GHz and show 128GB of DDR4-2400 memory; iDRAC 8 Express also reports this inventory remotely.
