Dual Xeon 5U Server for Virtualisation

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU delivers 14 cores for multi-threaded performance. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four modules and a PERC H330 storage controller managing four 960 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suited for Consolidation Not High Core Counts

The dual-socket design and 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis suit organisations consolidating virtual machines, hosting databases or running backup workloads on Windows Server or Linux. Buyers needing more than 384 GB of total memory or support for newer processor generations should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed two-processor maximum limits horizontal scaling within this chassis.

12 DIMM Slots Define Memory Ceiling

With 12 DDR4 slots populated by four 16 GB modules, the server reaches 64 GB today and can expand to 384 GB using higher-capacity registered DIMMs. This slot count is the single constraint that determines whether the platform can meet future memory growth without replacing the chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 960GB SSDs into the 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into one of the sixteen front bays until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H330 sees all four in its BIOS before installing the OS.

What maintenance will the 750W redundant power supplies need later?

They are hot-swap; if a unit fails, pull the bad module and insert a replacement while the server stays running.

Which limit appears first under sustained load with dual 14-core Xeons at 2.6GHz?

The 750W platinum PSUs set the power ceiling; prolonged turbo to 3.5GHz across all cores can reach that limit before thermal throttling.
