Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 5U 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 12 available slots, supporting up to 384 GB total. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays for SAS or SATA devices. It is built for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical workloads.

Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power

Redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 750 W each deliver platinum-efficiency conversion and allow replacement without downtime. The 5U chassis provides airflow across dual CPU sockets and up to sixteen drive bays, though only eight trays are populated in this configuration. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management operate independently of the main operating system. No bezel or ready rails are included with the unit.

Sixteen 2.5-inch bay capacity

The chassis supports sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays for SAS, SATA, or SSD storage, but this unit includes only eight drive trays and no drives installed. Buyers who need the full bay count populated must source additional trays and media separately. The PERC H330 controller handles RAID levels supported by its firmware, and expansion slots remain available for additional RAID, networking, or accelerator cards. Maximum memory of 384 GB requires filling all twelve DDR4 slots with compatible modules.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" drives in the 8 trays supplied with the T430, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a tray until the latch clicks, then insert the tray into the hot-swap bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is securing the latch screw on the tray before seating it.

What maintenance will the 2x 750W power supplies need later?

The redundant hot-swap supplies are rated for continuous operation; plan to replace a unit only if its status LED shows a fault or after several years of 24/7 duty.

What limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs run at 3.5GHz Turbo under sustained load?

The 750W power budget is the first constraint; prolonged all-core turbo can draw enough power to trigger throttling before thermal limits are reached.
