Dual Xeon 14-core tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz with 3.5GHz turbo. Each CPU provides 14 cores for a total of 28 threads. It ships with 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 12 slots, supporting up to 384GB. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays for SAS or SATA drives.

Dual 750W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750-watt platinum efficiency power supplies deliver reliable power with failover protection. The 5U chassis provides generous airflow paths for the dual-processor configuration and fully populated drive bays. Integrated iDRAC 8 Express enables remote monitoring of thermal sensors and power consumption without requiring host OS access. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports handle management and data traffic separately.

16-bay storage with PCIe expansion

Sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch trays accept SAS, SATA, or SSD media without tools. The H330 controller manages arrays through a dedicated PCIe slot, leaving additional slots free for networking or RAID upgrades. iDRAC 8 Express provides out-of-band lifecycle control for firmware updates and hardware inventory. Note that front bezel and rack rails are not included with this configuration.

Questions about this item

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

Align the CPU notches with the socket keys, lower the load plate, and secure the retention lever; the step most often missed is applying fresh thermal paste before mounting the heatsinks.

What maintenance will the 128GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory need later?

The modules require no routine maintenance; if capacity must grow, add up to four more DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs to reach the 384GB maximum across the 12 slots.

What limit appears first when the PERC H330 controller drives all 16 hot-swap bays under sustained write load?

The H330's 12Gb/s SAS/SATA interface and lack of a write-back cache battery create a throughput ceiling before the 2.5-inch drives reach their own limits.
