DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12 Core 16GB DDR4 HBA330 4x 1.92TB SATA 2x 750W PSU

Dual Xeon E5-2650 v4 5U Server

This Dell PowerEdge T430 ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides twelve cores for a total of twenty-four cores. The system includes sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory across twelve slots. It targets businesses that need virtualisation, database hosting or file storage in a tower form factor with optional rack conversion.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum power supplies maintain delivery during continuous multi-threaded workloads such as hypervisor clusters or SQL Server instances. The HBA330 controller manages four 1.92 terabyte SATA solid-state drives without a write-back cache, so sustained write throughput depends on the drives' native endurance. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports provide baseline network connectivity for steady-state replication or backup traffic.

Installation and Common Issues

The chassis offers sixteen 2.5 inch hot-swap bays and uses LGA 2011 sockets for processor upgrades up to the supported v3 and v4 families. Memory expansion uses DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules only; other DDR generations will not fit. The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so rack mounting requires a separate conversion kit. PCI Express slots remain available for additional RAID or networking cards.
