DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 4x 1.92TB SATA HBA330

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports an optional rack conversion kit. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2GHz with a 2.9GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16GB modules. A PERC HBA330 storage controller manages the four installed 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives.

Sustained load behaviour with dual Xeon processors

Dual 12-core Xeon processors provide 24 total cores for parallel workloads such as virtualization and database hosting. The 384GB maximum memory capacity allows room to expand beyond the factory 128GB configuration. Redundant hot-swap 750W platinum power supplies maintain uptime during extended operation. The HBA330 controller delivers 12Gb/s SAS and SATA throughput for consistent storage performance.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack or floor space accommodates a 5U form factor and that front bezel and ready rails are sourced separately. Confirm the LGA 2011 socket matches any planned processor upgrades within the E5-2600 v3 or v4 families. Ensure your network infrastructure supports the dual integrated gigabit Ethernet ports. Check that twelve DIMM slots and sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays align with your expansion requirements.
