DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Server 2x Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz 14C 256GB DDR4 4x 1.92TB HBA330

Dual-socket Xeon E5-2660 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at a 2.0GHz base frequency with a 3.2GHz turbo boost. The system ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 32GB modules. It targets organisations that need dense compute capacity for virtualization, database hosting, or business-critical workloads in a tower or rack form factor.

PERC HBA330 storage controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives are included, leaving twelve bays available for additional SAS, SATA, or SSD storage. The controller operates in HBA mode, presenting drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction. This configuration suits software-defined storage, ZFS pools, or hypervisor passthrough scenarios.

Redundant 750W platinum power supplies

Two hot-plug 750-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver full redundancy for continuous operation under sustained multi-threaded load. The dual-socket 14-core processors and fully populated memory subsystem draw significant power during extended virtualization or database tasks, and the redundant design ensures the server remains online if one supply fails. Integrated iDRAC 8 Express enables remote monitoring of thermal and power metrics during prolonged heavy utilisation.
