DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 384GB DDR4 rack server

16-bay 2.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 ships in a 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage connectivity while dual 1100 W supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC8 Express enables remote administration out of the box.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Eight cores per processor deliver 16 threads total with 20 MB cache each, allowing steady performance across virtualisation hosts, database workloads or compute clusters. The 384 GB memory ceiling matches the installed capacity so the system runs at its maximum configured memory bandwidth without headroom for expansion. Dual power supplies and the H730 controller maintain operation during component failure.

Maximum memory fixed at 384 GB

The platform reaches its architectural memory limit at 384 GB DDR4, so organisations planning larger in-memory datasets must evaluate a different server generation. Buyers who need more memory capacity cannot extend this chassis beyond the installed configuration.
