Dual Xeon 5U server with 16 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz with a 3.5GHz turbo. It ships with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules and includes a Dell PERC HBA330 storage controller. Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays and dual 750W platinum power supplies are installed. iDRAC 8 Express provides remote management.

Suited to virtualization and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, database hosting, file and print services or backup workloads. The 16-bay chassis and HBA330 controller support SAS and SATA drives for large capacity arrays. Buyers who require more than two processors, more than 384GB of memory or a different drive form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory capacity is 384GB across 12 slots

The system board provides twelve DDR4 DIMM slots and supports up to 384GB of ECC registered memory. With 32GB already populated in four slots, eight slots remain for expansion. This ceiling determines whether the server can meet the memory demands of your planned virtual machines or database instances before purchase.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 slots remain free for future memory upgrades?

The server has 12 DDR4 slots total with 4 occupied by the installed 32GB kit, leaving 8 slots available for expansion up to 384GB.

What limits how many drives I can actually use in the 16 bays?

The HBA330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives, so the 16 hot-swap bays can be fully populated with 2.5-inch SAS or SATA SSDs or HDDs.

How much power headroom do the dual 750W supplies leave for a fully loaded chassis?

Two 750W platinum units provide redundant hot-swap power; total draw depends on the drives and add-in cards you install in the 16 bays and PCIe slots.
