Dual Xeon 18-core 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores running at 2.1GHz with a 3.3GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. It targets organisations that need high core density for virtualisation, database hosting or business-critical workloads in a rackmount form factor.

HBA330 controller and drive trays

A Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller provides connectivity for up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. Four drive trays are included so you can start populating storage immediately. Dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 8 Express remote management handle networking and out-of-band administration. Two 750W platinum redundant power supplies deliver hot-swap power resilience without extra configuration.

384GB maximum memory capacity

The platform supports up to 384GB of DDR4 across twelve DIMM slots, leaving four slots free for future expansion beyond the installed 256GB. Buyers who need larger memory footprints per socket or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms. No drives are included, so storage capacity and performance depend entirely on the SAS or SATA devices you add. Front bezel and ready rails are not supplied.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 slots remain open for future memory upgrades?

The system has 12 DDR4 slots total and 256 GB is installed as 8×32 GB modules, leaving 4 slots available for expansion up to the 384 GB maximum.

Will the dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 CPUs hit their 3.3 GHz turbo ceiling before the 750 W power supplies limit performance?

Both processors share the 750 W redundant supplies; under sustained all-core loads the 2.1 GHz base frequency is the practical ceiling, while the 3.3 GHz turbo is only reached on fewer active cores.

How loud are the fans when the T430 runs 24/7 with both CPUs and 256 GB of DDR4 fully loaded?

The 5U chassis uses multiple hot-swap fans that ramp with inlet temperature; at full sustained load they produce noticeable but datacentre-grade airflow noise, not office-quiet levels.
