Server for small-office workloads

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server built for workgroup collaboration, mail, file and print serving, and web serving in small or remote offices. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores total, 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, and eight 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives managed by a PERC H730 controller.

Upgrade from single-socket

The jump makes sense when a single-processor box can no longer handle concurrent users or when software RAID on a workstation becomes a bottleneck. Dual sockets and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 give predictable throughput and redundancy for databases or virtualisation hosts that have outgrown entry-level hardware.

Rack-mount installation with hot-swap bays

The chassis fits a standard 5U rack space and includes redundant 750 W hot-swap power supplies so a failed unit can be replaced without downtime. Drive bays are hot-swap 3.5 inch SATA; the PERC H730 battery-backed cache must be seated correctly or the array will not initialise. iDRAC 8 Express provides remote console access for headless deployments.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 5U PowerEdge T430 occupy?

The server occupies 5U of rack space, so ensure your cabinet has at least five contiguous rack units available.

Which memory type and speed must be used when adding RAM to the 12 DDR4 slots?

Only DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules are supported; install them in matched pairs to maintain dual-channel operation.

What drive replacement is expected for the eight 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives?

The 3.5-inch 7.2K SATA drives are the components most likely to need replacement; swap with identical capacity and speed drives to preserve RAID integrity.
