DELL E5-2683 PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x 2.1GHz 16-core 384GB DDR4 8x 8TB SATA H730

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mounted server system designed for office workloads such as file and print serving, mail, messaging and web hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, and 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power. A Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache manages the storage array.

Suited for workgroup and branch-office deployments

This configuration suits small offices and remote branch offices that need single-server performance with high internal storage capacity. The eight 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives, delivering substantial capacity for file shares and backups. Buyers who require solid-state speed, GPU-accelerated compute or a compact tower form factor should look elsewhere. The integrated Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1 GbE adapter and iDRAC 8 Express handle basic connectivity and remote management.

384 GB DDR4 memory ceiling

The system reaches its maximum memory capacity of 384 GB across 12 DIMM slots, so no further RAM upgrades are possible without replacing modules. The PERC H730 controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for flexible data protection. Two LGA 2011-3 sockets are fully populated, leaving no room for additional CPUs.
