Dual Xeon 14-core server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz with 3.5GHz turbo. Fourteen cores per CPU deliver 28 threads total for multi-threaded workloads. It targets IT teams running VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox clusters who need dense compute in a standard rack footprint.

HBA330 controller and four trays enable flexible

The included PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without RAID overhead, passing drives directly to the hypervisor. Four 2.5-inch hot-swap trays are populated; twelve additional bays remain open for SAS, SATA, or SSD expansion. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management ship installed, while front bezel and rack rails are not included.

128GB DDR4-2400 ECC with room to 384GB

Twelve DIMM slots hold eight 16GB registered ECC modules today, leaving four slots free for growth to the 384GB maximum. This capacity suits moderate database buffers and virtual desktop infrastructure. Buyers who need larger in-memory datasets or more than two sockets should evaluate platforms supporting higher per-slot densities or four-processor topologies.

Questions about this item

How many DIMM slots are still free for adding more DDR4 memory?

Eight of the 12 DIMM slots are occupied by the 128GB kit, leaving four slots open for additional DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules.

What is the maximum memory capacity the T430 can reach with both Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors installed?

The server supports up to 384GB of DDR4 memory across its 12 slots when both processors are present.

How loud are the fans and what is the power draw when the dual 14-core Xeons run at 2.6GHz all day?

Two 750W Platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power; fan speed scales with CPU load and inlet temperature through iDRAC 8 Express management.
