Dual Xeon 14-Core Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4‑2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, four 2.5‑inch drive trays, dual gigabit Ethernet, iDRAC 8 Express remote management and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, Microsoft SQL Server instances, file and print services or backup workloads that benefit from dual‑processor throughput and sixteen hot‑swap bays. Buyers who need more memory pre‑installed, additional drive trays beyond the four supplied, or a rackmount chassis without a separate conversion kit should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P 2GB RAID Controller

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P with 2 GB cache and a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface, enabling hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass‑through mode. It governs how many drives can be grouped, which RAID levels are available and whether a battery‑backed write cache is present, making it the single specification that decides if this server matches a given storage design.

Questions about this item

What type of DDR4 memory modules does the T430 require to reach its 384GB maximum capacity?

The server uses DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs across 12 slots, allowing up to 384GB when fully populated.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives I plan to keep?

Yes, the H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for those drives.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 8 Express remote management is active after the server boots?

During POST the iDRAC IP address appears on screen; you can then log in to the web interface to verify health and firmware status.
