Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 18 cores and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. The system provides 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 750 W redundant power supplies.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity for consolidated workloads. The dual 18-core CPUs and 384 GB maximum memory support dense virtual machine deployments. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or faster memory speeds than DDR4-2400 should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache accelerates write performance for the four included 1.92 TB SATA SSDs. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available for the 16 drive bays.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 750 Watt PSUs draw when the twin 18-core Xeons run at 2.1 GHz all day?

The server includes two 750 Watt platinum-efficiency supplies with redundant hot-swap support; actual draw depends on workload but the units are rated for 750 W each.

Which drive caddies and rails must I already have to populate the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

The 16 hot-swap bays accept standard Dell 2.5-inch SATA or SAS caddies; ready rails and front bezel are not included, so you need compatible rails for rack mounting.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I want to reuse alongside the new 1.92 TB SATA SSDs?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so legacy 6 Gb/s SAS drives work in pass-through or RAID modes alongside the installed SSDs.
