DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C 16GB DDR4 H330 4x 960GB SSD

Dual Xeon 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with a 3.3GHz turbo frequency. Eighteen cores per processor provide substantial parallel processing capacity. The system includes 16GB of DDR4 memory across two modules and a PERC H330 storage controller managing four 960GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management complete the enterprise feature set.

Virtualisation and Database Focus

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation platforms, database engines, or file storage workloads that benefit from dual-socket compute density and hot-swap drive bays. Buyers needing larger memory footprints for in-memory databases or higher core counts per socket should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed 16GB RAM represents a minimal starting point for most production hypervisor hosts.

12 DIMM Slots to 384GB

The server provides twelve DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 384GB. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can accommodate future memory growth without replacing the system. Populated slots currently hold two 8GB modules running at 2400MHz.
