DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14-core 256GB DDR4 8x 4TB SATA H730

5U rack server with dual 14-core Xeons

This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a Dell PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives are installed in the 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suits small-office and branch workloads

The configuration targets small offices and remote branch locations needing a single server for collaboration, mail, file, print and web serving duties. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, additional processor sockets beyond the two installed, or drive bays beyond the eight 3.5-inch slots should look at larger platforms. The integrated Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1 GbE LOM and iDRAC 8 Express cover basic remote management and networking.

Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 at 2.0 GHz

The defining specification is the pair of 14-core Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs running at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. This delivers 28 total cores and 56 threads for multi-threaded server workloads. The LGA 2011-3 socket and Intel C610 chipset limit upgrades to the same processor generation. Memory runs at 2400 MHz DDR4 with a maximum capacity of 384 GB across 12 slots.
