Dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It targets businesses that need dependable compute power for virtualization, database hosting, or file services in a tower form factor that can later be rack-mounted.

256GB DDR4 with 384GB Ceiling

The system ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules, occupying 8 of the 12 available slots. This leaves headroom to reach the 384GB maximum capacity. The PERC HBA330 controller provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, though no drives are installed.

HBA330 Controller and iDRAC 8 Express

The bundled PERC HBA330 handles storage connectivity without RAID processing, suited for software-defined storage or JBOD configurations. Four 2.5-inch drive trays are included to start populating the 16-bay chassis. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express enable remote management and network access. Dual 750W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. The front bezel and rack rails are not included.

Questions about this item

Can I reuse my current DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs to expand the 256GB already installed?

The server has 12 DDR4 slots and currently holds 8x 32GB modules running at 2400MHz; identical DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs can fill the four empty slots up to the 384GB maximum.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs and HBA330 controller are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC 8 Express interface; both will show two 14-core processors at 2.0GHz with 3.2GHz turbo and list the PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller under storage adapters.

Which drive trays and rails are included, and what must I source separately?

Four 2.5-inch hot-swap trays ship with the unit; the remaining twelve trays for the 16-bay chassis, plus front bezel and ready rails, are not included and must be purchased separately.
