Dual 18-core Xeon tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.3GHz turbo. It includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 16GB modules. The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays and dual 750W platinum power supplies are fitted.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters, Microsoft SQL Server instances, file and print services, or backup and disaster-recovery targets. Buyers who need more than 384GB of RAM or more than 16 drive bays should look at a larger platform. The tower form factor also means rack-mount users must add the optional conversion kit.

384GB maximum DDR4 capacity

The board provides 12 DIMM slots and tops out at 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. If the workload demands more memory than this ceiling, a different server generation is required.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power draw should I expect from the two Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz all day?

Each Xeon E5-2695 v4 has an 18-core design with a 2.1 GHz base clock and 3.3 GHz turbo; the system includes two 750 Watt platinum power supplies for redundant hot-swap operation.

Which drive trays and storage controller are already fitted so I know what drives to buy?

Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and a PERC H730P 2 GB SAS/SATA RAID controller with battery-backed cache are installed.

Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs work in the 12 memory slots alongside the 64 GB already installed?

The server takes DDR4 ECC registered memory up to 384 GB across 12 slots; the current 64 GB uses four 16 GB modules at 2400 MT/s.
