DELL PowerEdge T430 rack server 2× Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1 GHz 18-core 128 GB DDR4 H730 8× 3.5" trays

Dell PowerEdge T430 dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a tower-form server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 18 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy, while eight 3.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA or SAS drives. Integrated Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1 GbE networking and iDRAC8 Express remote management complete the platform.

Small offices and remote sites needing

This configuration suits small offices, branch locations or workgroups that run collaboration, mail, file, print or web workloads on a single box. The two-socket limit and 384 GB memory ceiling make it less suitable for organisations that require larger-scale virtualisation clusters, high-performance compute nodes or more than two processors. Buyers who need front bezel or ready rails should note those items are not included.

384 GB maximum DDR4 memory capacity

The system supports up to 384 GB of DDR4 memory across twelve DIMM slots, so the installed 128 GB leaves room for expansion. If the target workload demands more than 384 GB, this chassis cannot accommodate it and a different platform would be required.
