DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14 Core 32GB DDR4 H730P 16x 2.5 Bay

Dual Xeon 14-Core Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across four modules, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to 384 GB. The system targets organisations that need a dense compute platform for hypervisors such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database and business-application workloads.

Sustained Load Behaviour with Redundant Power

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in a hot-swap redundant configuration, maintaining delivery during a single-unit failure without shutting down the host. The PERC H730P controller includes a 2 GB backed cache that preserves write performance and data integrity during extended I/O bursts across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express provide continuous out-of-band management and monitoring even when the operating system is under heavy utilisation.

Sixteen Hot-Swap Bays and Expansion Flexibility

Sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays populate the front chassis, accepting SAS, SATA and SSD media in any mix without tools. The tray count supports high-capacity arrays or tiered storage layouts while the 5U height reserves internal space for additional PCI Express cards such as extra networking or storage controllers. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so rack mounting hardware must be sourced separately for cabinet installation.
