Server configuration

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that can be converted for rack mounting. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency and fourteen cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight modules and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing four 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Fit for purpose

This server suits organisations running virtualisation hosts, database workloads or file storage that benefit from dual-socket compute density and hot-swap drive bays. The sixteen 2.5-inch bays and support for up to 384 GB of DDR4 allow substantial internal expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints than 384 GB or fibre-channel connectivity should consider alternative platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed memory totals 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs with twelve slots available for growth to 384 GB. This capacity and memory type determine whether the server can hold the working set of your applications without immediate upgrades.

Questions about this item

What processor sockets must the motherboard provide for the two Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs to operate?

The board uses two LGA 2011 sockets, one for each installed 14-core processor running at 2.6 GHz base and 3.5 GHz turbo.

Can the existing PERC H330 controller manage the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs together with older 2.5-inch SAS drives I might add later?

Yes, the H330 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA, so the installed SSDs and any additional SAS or SATA drives can share the same backplane.

How can I confirm the 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory is recognised and running without errors after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 8 Express interface or the system BIOS; both will display all 12 DIMM slots populated with 16 GB modules at the correct speed and ECC status.
