Dual-socket Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mounted server system powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores running at 2.6GHz with a 3.5GHz turbo frequency. The platform ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory across four modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2GB cache. Sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays provide high-density internal storage capacity.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense local storage and dual-processor throughput. The installed memory fits modest virtual machine counts, while the H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for resilient volumes. Buyers who want more storage bays or larger memory footprints should look at platforms with greater slot counts and bay populations.

Sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays

The single specification that decides fit is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane paired with the H730P controller. It determines how many SAS or SATA drives can be installed internally and which RAID levels are available. Confirm that the bay count and controller feature set match the intended storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.6 GHz Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors work with my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules?

Yes, the installed 32 GB uses DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs, so matching modules will run at the same speed and voltage.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Open the controller BIOS during POST or check iDRAC 8 Express; both show battery status, firmware version and virtual-disk state.

Which items ship with the server and which must I order separately?

The box includes 2 CPUs, 32 GB RAM, H730P controller, 16 drive trays, dual 750 W PSUs and bezel; drives, rails and extra memory are not included.
