DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18-core 32GB DDR4 H330 16-bay 2x750W

Dual Xeon 18-core server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with 3.3GHz turbo across 18 cores. It ships with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384GB. The PERC H330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only four trays are included and no drives are installed. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express provide remote management.

Check memory slots and drive trays before ordering

Verify that your DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules match the twelve available slots and 384GB maximum capacity. The sixteen 2.5-inch bays accept SAS and SATA drives, but only four trays are supplied; additional trays are required to populate every bay. Confirm the PERC H330 RAID configuration suits your storage plan, as no drives are included. Ensure your rack or tower space accommodates the 5U form factor and that the LGA 2011 socket platform aligns with your software licensing.

Redundant 750W supplies handle peak loads

Dual hot-swap 750W platinum-rated power supplies share the load and provide redundancy during normal operation. The 5U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow to cool the dual 18-core processors and memory under typical virtualization or database workloads. Fan speeds adjust automatically through iDRAC monitoring, keeping acoustic output at a level suitable for a standard server room. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and the number of installed drives.
