Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve DIMM slots, supporting up to 384 GB total. It targets virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical workloads that demand dual-socket compute density.

Redundant 750 W platinum power

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy for continuous operation. The H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays, though only eight trays are included. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management handle network and out-of-band administration without additional cards.

Sixteen-bay chassis with expansion room

The 5U form factor houses sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays for SAS or SATA drives, leaving eight bays open for future storage growth. Twelve memory slots remain partially populated, allowing simple capacity upgrades. PCI Express slots accept additional RAID, networking, or acceleration cards. Front bezel and rack rails are not included, so plan for separate mounting hardware if deploying in a standard rack.

Questions about this item

How do I install the two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors in the LGA 2011 sockets, and what step is often missed?

Align the notches, lower each CPU gently, close the load plate, then secure the lever. The step often missed is applying the correct torque to the heat-sink retention screws in a diagonal pattern so pressure stays even across the die.

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P controller need later?

The controller uses a 2GB cache backed by a battery. That battery degrades over time and must be replaced when the controller logs a cache-battery warning, otherwise write-back caching disables and performance drops.

Which limit appears first when all 16 drive bays run sustained write workloads?

The dual 750W platinum supplies cap total output at 750W with one unit failed. Heavy SAS or SSD write streams across many bays can hit that power ceiling before the 12Gb/s SAS bus saturates.
