DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12-core 16GB DDR4 H730P 16-bay 2.5

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors. Each CPU provides twelve cores at 2.2GHz with a 2.9GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. It is built for organisations that need a dual-socket platform with high drive-bay density in a standard rack footprint.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration suits teams running hypervisors such as VMware ESXi or Hyper-V, database workloads, or file and backup services that benefit from sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. The dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express management support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, memory beyond 384GB, or a tower form factor without rack rails should evaluate other platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-Inch Hot-Swap Drive Bays

The chassis provides sixteen bays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, backed by the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count is the primary factor when matching the server to storage capacity and redundancy requirements. The four included trays cover a starter deployment; additional trays are needed to populate every slot.
