Dual 14-Core Xeon E5-2690 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 3.5 GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per CPU deliver 28 threads for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical applications. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Tool-Less Drive Trays and Rail Kit Required

Four 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays are included for the front bays; the chassis supports up to sixteen bays so additional trays must be sourced separately. Processors and memory are pre-installed, reducing build time to rail mounting and cable routing. The server ships without front bezel or ready rails; rack installation therefore needs a compatible Dell rail kit. iDRAC 8 Express enables remote management once networked, but initial configuration requires physical console access or a dedicated management port connection.

Verify Rack Depth and Power Connections Before

Confirm the rack enclosure depth accommodates a 5U tower-form-factor server with rear cable clearance. Dual 750 W supplies use standard IEC C14 inlets; ensure PDU capacity and cable reach for both feeds. The PERC H730P uses a low-profile PCIe slot; check that any additional expansion cards fit the remaining slots and chassis airflow path. Maximum memory capacity is 384 GB across twelve DDR4 slots; plan future upgrades within that limit.
