Product identity and audience

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 cores and the system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations running virtualisation hosts, database workloads or file-storage services that can use the 16 hot-swap bays and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. Buyers who need more than 16 drive bays or a newer CPU generation should look at a different platform. The 384 GB memory ceiling also limits very large in-memory datasets.

The specification that decides fit

The installed configuration provides four 960 GB SATA SSDs and twelve free 2.5-inch bays for expansion. If the workload requires more flash capacity than the four drives deliver, the empty bays and the H730P controller allow additional SATA or SAS drives to be added without changing the server.

Questions about this item

What rack rails are required to mount the 5U T430 in a standard rack?

A Dell rack conversion kit is required; the front bezel and ready rails are not included with this server.

Can the existing H730P controller manage the installed SSDs together with older SAS drives I might add later?

Yes, the H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across both SATA and SAS drives, so the 960 GB SSDs and any added SAS drives can share the same virtual disks.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 8 Express remote management is reachable after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, note the DHCP-assigned address shown on the LCD panel, then browse to that address and log in with the default credentials.
