DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2690 v4 2.6GHz 14 Core 16GB DDR4 H330 4x 960GB SSD

Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz with a 3.5GHz turbo frequency. Each processor provides 14 cores, delivering substantial multi-threaded compute capacity for virtualisation and database workloads. The system ships with 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing four 960GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suited for virtualisation and storage-heavy roles

This configuration fits organisations consolidating VMs, hosting SQL databases, or running file and backup services that benefit from the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis and included SSD capacity. Buyers who need larger memory footprints for dense virtualisation or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at platforms with higher memory ceilings and PCIe expansion for accelerators. The tower-form-factor design with optional rack conversion also limits deployment flexibility in space-constrained racks that require native rackmount rails.

384GB maximum DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, which is the decisive figure when sizing this server for memory-intensive applications. The installed 16GB represents a minimal starting point, so procurement must budget for additional DIMMs to match workload requirements.
