Dual-socket Xeon tower for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that can be converted to rack mount. Two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors run at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across two slots. A PERC HBA330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in the front bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits consolidation workloads.

This configuration fits small-to-mid virtualization hosts, database instances or file servers that benefit from dual-socket compute and hot-swap SATA storage. iDRAC 8 Express gives remote management without extra licensing. Buyers who need more than 16 GB of RAM out of the box or who require hardware RAID levels should look at a different configuration. The tower chassis also requires conversion rails for standard rack deployment.

PERC HBA330 controller with SATA SSDs

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller connected to four enterprise 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives. The server offers sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in total, leaving twelve empty bays for expansion. The HBA330 presents drives in JBOD or pass-through mode, so software-defined storage or OS-level RAID is required.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the two Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors are recognised after setup?

Check the system BIOS or iDRAC 8 Express inventory; it should show 2 physical CPUs, 18 cores each, running at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo capability.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with 2 CPUs, 16 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM in 2 slots, PERC HBA330 controller, 4 x 960 GB SATA SSDs, dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 8 Express, and 2 x 750 W PSUs; front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Should I choose the 16 GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 384 GB maximum?

Start with the installed 16 GB (2 x 8 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM) and add matching modules across the 12 slots if workloads demand more capacity up to the 384 GB limit.
