DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2690 v4 2.6GHz 14-core 16GB DDR4 HBA330 8× 2.5" trays 2× 750W

Dual Xeon 14-core server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount system equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across two modules and includes a PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. This configuration targets businesses running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, SQL Server, or file and backup workloads that need dual-socket compute density and internal drive expandability.

16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis

The defining specification is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap drive cage populated with eight included trays and driven by the HBA330 in non-RAID HBA mode. The controller presents SAS and SATA drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID, so software-defined storage, ZFS, or host-based RAID must be planned. Maximum memory capacity reaches 384 GB across twelve DDR4 slots, allowing significant RAM upgrades for database or virtualization density.

Tool-less rail-ready installation.

The server mounts in a standard 5U rack space using optional ready rails, and the dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy without downtime. Drive trays for the remaining eight bays and the front bezel are not included, so they must be sourced separately before populating all bays. iDRAC 8 Express enables remote power, console, and firmware management over the dedicated management port once an IP address is assigned.
