5U Server for Virtualisation and Databases

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets businesses that need reliable compute for virtualisation, database hosting or file storage in a dense 16-bay chassis.

PERC H330 Controller and 16 Drive Trays

The integrated Dell PERC H330 storage controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Sixteen Dell 13G drive trays are included, allowing immediate population with SAS, SATA or SSD media. Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are also integrated for network access and out-of-band administration.

Check Memory Slots and Rack Kit Requirements

The system contains 12 memory slots and currently uses eight, leaving four slots available for expansion up to a 384 GB maximum. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies deliver redundant power. Note that the front bezel and ready rails are not included, so verify your rack mounting hardware before ordering.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules are needed to reach the 384 GB maximum on the 12 slots?

The 12 slots take DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs; filling them with 32 GB modules reaches the 384 GB limit.

Which component caps sustained throughput first when all 16 drive bays are active?

The PERC H330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth, which becomes the bottleneck before the dual 2.6 GHz Xeon CPUs.

How loud and hot does the chassis run with both 750 W platinum power supplies loaded continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum PSUs share the load efficiently, and the 5U tower's front-to-rear airflow keeps temperatures stable during 24/7 operation.
