DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-Core 256GB DDR4 H730P 4x 1.92TB SATA

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server configured 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 processing threads. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. It is built for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical applications that demand multi-threaded throughput and memory capacity.

PERC H730P RAID and 1.92 TB SSDs

The installed Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. Four Dell Enterprise 1.92 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives are populated in the 16-bay hot-swap chassis. This storage upgrade replaces mechanical arrays with low-latency flash, cutting boot times and accelerating random I/O for virtual machines and databases. The jump is worth it when workloads are bottlenecked by spindle latency or when a single chassis must consolidate many VMs.

Check power, rails, and memory headroom

The server ships with two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies and requires compatible PDU connectors. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so verify rack mounting hardware before deployment. Twelve DIMM slots are present with eight occupied, leaving four slots open to reach the 384 GB maximum. Confirm that your operating system and hypervisor support the Xeon E5-2600 v4 platform and that network infrastructure matches the dual integrated 1 GbE ports.
