Dual 14-core Xeon 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and provides 14 cores. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense local storage and dual-socket compute. The 16-bay chassis supports SAS, SATA and SSD media for mixed workloads. Buyers who require more than 384 GB of memory or more than two installed processors should evaluate larger platforms. The integrated dual-port Gigabit adapter may limit bandwidth-heavy storage replication without an additional NIC.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 2 GB of cache and a battery-backed write-back cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus JBOD pass-through mode. The controller connects to the 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays through 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA lanes. This single component determines the RAID levels, drive types and maximum array count available to the operating system.

Questions about this item

Does the 5U Dell PowerEdge T430 include the rack conversion kit and ready rails for mounting in a standard rack?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included with this server. A separate rack conversion kit is required for rack deployment.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors and the 128GB DDR4 memory across the 12 DIMM slots?

Populate CPU1 first, then CPU2. Install the eight 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC Registered modules evenly across the twelve slots following the balanced channel guide in the service manual.

When should the PERC H730P controller battery be replaced to protect the 2GB cache during a power loss?

The battery typically lasts three to five years. iDRAC 8 Express will report a battery health warning when replacement is needed to maintain cache backup.
