Dual 18-Core Xeon E5-2695 v4 Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at a 2.1GHz base frequency with a 3.3GHz turbo capability. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve slots. It is built for organisations that need dense multi-threaded compute in a standard rack form factor.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters that benefit from thirty-six total cores and large memory headroom up to 384GB. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify fleet deployment. Buyers who require higher single-thread speeds, GPU-accelerated workloads or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

HBA330 controller with sixteen 2.5-inch bays

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for up to sixteen hot-swap drive bays, though only eight trays are populated in this unit. This storage interface determines which drive types can be used directly without additional controllers. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies support continuous operation during module replacement.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 5U T430 require?

The server occupies 5U of rack space and the ready rails are not included, so a compatible rail kit must be sourced separately for rack mounting.

How are the two Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors and the 32GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 2011 sockets are already populated with the 18-core CPUs and the 12 DIMM slots hold four 8GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules; the step often missed is ensuring the memory is installed in the correct quad-channel order per processor.

Which drive trays and power supplies will need replacement spares over time?

The chassis includes eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays and two 750-watt platinum hot-plug power supplies; both trays and PSUs are field-replaceable units for future maintenance.
