Dual-socket Xeon tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a dual-processor tower server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 chips running at 2.1 GHz with 18 cores each. It arrives with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 12 slots and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache. Dual 750 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 Express remote management are included.

Suited for virtualised workloads.

This configuration suits small offices or remote branches that need a quiet tower form factor with redundant power and hardware RAID for up to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. Buyers who need a rack-mount chassis, more than two processor sockets, or front-access drive bays beyond the eight provided should look elsewhere.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays with H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. No drives are installed, so capacity and spindle speed are chosen by the buyer.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the T430 need for mounting?

The T430 ships without Ready Rails or a front bezel, so you must supply a compatible Dell sliding rail kit and ensure your rack has sufficient depth for a 5U tower-to-rack chassis.

How do the dual 750 W power supplies connect for redundancy, and what step is often missed?

Plug each 750 W Platinum PSU into a separate PDU circuit; the step people miss is enabling power-supply redundancy in the iDRAC8 Express settings after cabling.

When the PERC H730 controller battery reaches end of life, what must be replaced?

The H730 Mini includes a 1 GB cache module with a replaceable battery; swap the battery pack to retain write-back cache protection during power loss.
