Processor and memory configuration

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack 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 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to 384 GB.

Storage and expansion fit

The chassis provides 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays and ships with eight Dell drive trays installed. A PERC HBA330 controller manages SAS and SATA drives without RAID functions, so builders who need hardware RAID should look at a different controller. The tower form factor includes an optional rack conversion kit, but the front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Deciding specification

The installed PERC HBA330 is a non-RAID host bus adapter that presents drives directly to the operating system. If your deployment requires a hardware RAID card with cache and battery backup, this server does not meet that need without an additional controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC HBA330 controller and which step is often missed?

Seat the HBA330 in a PCIe slot, connect SAS cables to the 2.5" drive backplane, then enable the controller in BIOS before creating any virtual disks — skipping the BIOS enable step leaves drives invisible to the OS.

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

Each 750W unit is hot-swappable; replace a failed module by sliding it out and inserting the new one while the server stays running — no scheduled replacement interval is required.

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

The 2x 750W platinum power budget and 5U chassis airflow become the limiting factors before the 14-core processors reach thermal throttle.
