Dual 12-core Xeon tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 2.9 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 32 GB modules and supports a maximum of 384 GB. A PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller provides SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache.

Built for virtualization and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, Microsoft SQL Server instances, or file and backup repositories that benefit from sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require rack-mount rails or a front bezel will need to source those separately, and the unit arrives without any drives installed.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays while only four drive trays are included. Expansion beyond four drives requires additional trays, and the PERC H730P controller determines which RAID levels are available. Confirm that the SAS or SATA drives you select match the controller capabilities before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730P RAID controller is functioning after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS appears and lists the 2GB cache; once the OS loads, the Dell OpenManage or perccli utility shows the battery status as optimal and all configured virtual disks as online.

What ships with the T430 and what must I source separately?

The server includes two Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 in eight 32GB modules, the H730P controller with battery, four 2.5-inch drive trays, dual 1GbE ports, iDRAC 8 Express, and two 750W platinum power supplies; drives, front bezel, and ready rails are not included.

Which memory configuration should I choose to reach the 384GB maximum?

The system has twelve DDR4 slots and currently uses eight with 32GB modules; populate the remaining four slots with matching 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs to reach the 384GB limit.
