Dual-socket Xeon E5-2660 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 12 slots, expandable to 384 GB. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical workloads that demand dual-processor performance and large memory capacity.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundancy and help manage power draw under load. The 5U chassis accommodates sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only eight drive trays are included. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management operate independently of the main CPUs, adding minimal thermal overhead during normal operation.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery

The bundled Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, enabling flexible storage configurations across SAS and SATA drives. The onboard battery protects cached writes during unexpected power loss. iDRAC 8 Express delivers agent-free remote monitoring and lifecycle management without requiring a separate license. Front bezel and ready rails are not included, so buyers needing rackmount hardware must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server in a rack, and what step is often missed?

The server is a 5U tower; an optional rack conversion kit is required to mount it in a standard rack, and the kit is not included.

What maintenance will the storage controller need later?

The PERC H730P has a 2GB cache with a battery; the battery will eventually need replacement to keep write-back caching safe.

What limit appears first under sustained heavy load?

Memory capacity maxes at 384GB across 12 slots; the installed 256GB uses 8 modules, so adding more means filling the remaining 4 slots.
