Dual-socket Xeon server with SAS/SATA storage

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 3.5 GHz turbo across 14 cores. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across twelve DIMM slots, expandable to 384 GB. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch bays.

Suited to virtualization hosts and database nodes

This configuration serves VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dual-socket compute and hardware RAID on SATA SSDs. iDRAC 8 Express provides remote management for lights-out operation. Organisations requiring more than 16 GB of memory from day one, additional drive bays populated, or 10 GbE networking should consider other platforms.

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies

Two 750 watt platinum-efficiency PSUs deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous uptime. The LGA 2011 socket platform supports a maximum of two processors, so further CPU expansion is not possible. Buyers needing more than two sockets or a different memory generation must select another system.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed must the modules I add match for the server to run at 2400 MT/s?

The installed memory is DDR4-2400 ECC Registered; any added modules should also be DDR4-2400 ECC Registered so the system operates at 2400 MT/s.

Can the PERC H730P controller use the SATA SSDs already installed together with older SAS drives I might keep?

The H730P supports both 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs and legacy SAS drives can coexist in the same 16-bay chassis.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 8 Express remote management is responding after first power-on?

Connect the dedicated iDRAC network port, browse to the address shown on the LCD panel, and log in with the default credentials to reach the iDRAC 8 Express dashboard.
