Dell PowerEdge T430 5U dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across two modules and includes a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and dual 750 W platinum power supplies for redundancy.

Ideal for virtualisation and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity and dual-processor compute. The HBA330 controller presents drives without hardware RAID cache, so environments requiring write-back RAID acceleration or large memory footprints beyond 384 GB should consider other platforms. Buyers needing a tower form factor without rack rails or a front bezel should also note those items are not included.

Storage controller determines drive management

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 operates as a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA host bus adapter without on-board RAID cache, meaning drive redundancy and performance rely on software-defined storage or operating-system RAID. If your deployment depends on a hardware RAID controller with battery-backed cache, this server does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rails are required to mount this 5U server?

This 5U rack server needs a standard four-post rack and the optional rack conversion kit; ready rails are not included.

How are the two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011 sockets are already populated with the 14-core CPUs; add DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs in matched pairs across the 12 slots, ensuring the correct population order for multi-channel performance.

When will the 750 W power supplies or the HBA330 controller need replacement?

The redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum PSUs can be swapped individually without downtime; the PERC HBA330 controller is a PCIe card that can be replaced if a firmware update cannot resolve a fault.
