DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-Core 16GB DDR4 H330 16× 2.5" Trays 2×750W

Dual Xeon 12-Core 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores, delivering 24 threads total for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across two slots, with capacity for up to 384 GB across 12 slots. A PERC H330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, Windows Server or Linux for virtualization, database hosting, file services or backup. The dual-socket design and large drive bay count support memory-intensive and storage-heavy applications. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 384 GB of memory, or a compact tower chassis should look at other platforms. The front bezel and ready rails are not included.

PERC H330 SAS/SATA Controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H330 controller, which provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch bays. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported, making it the key specification for storage planning. The server also includes dual integrated gigabit Ethernet ports and iDRAC 8 Express for remote management.
