Dual 14-Core Xeon E5-2690 v4 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency and provides 14 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

This configuration delivers sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays populated with four 960 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC HBA330 controller. It fits organisations running VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox workloads that benefit from high core counts and redundant 750 W power supplies. Buyers who require more than 256 GB of memory out of the box, need a rackmount chassis without a conversion kit, or want integrated hardware RAID should evaluate other platforms.

PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the sixteen drive bays. It operates in HBA mode without onboard RAID processing, so the operating system or a separate RAID card manages volume redundancy. Confirm that your software stack can handle storage management before deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 12Gb/s HBA330 controller cap the drive throughput at in practice?

The HBA330 runs at 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so the four 960GB SATA SSDs are limited to the 6Gb/s link speed.

What physical space and rails does this 5U tower need to fit in a standard rack?

The chassis is a 5U tower with sixteen 2.5" hot-swap bays; an optional rack conversion kit is required and the front bezel plus ready rails are not included.

How are the dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs installed, and what step do people miss?

Both LGA 2011 sockets are already populated with the two 14-core processors; the common oversight is skipping the DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMM population order across the twelve slots.
