DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF 1x Xeon E5-2683 v4 256GB RAM No Drive

Dell PowerEdge T430 16SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 arrives as a 16-bay 2.5-inch rackmount server powered by a single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1GHz. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports a maximum of 384GB across its DIMM slots. This configuration suits organisations that need dense storage capacity in a 2U form factor without pre-installed drives.

PERC H730 RAID Controller & iDRAC8 Express

The bundled PERC H730 SAS controller provides hardware RAID across the 16 SATA or SAS drive bays, enabling redundancy levels that protect data without consuming host CPU cycles. Integrated iDRAC8 Express delivers out-of-band remote management for power control, console redirection and firmware updates over a dedicated 1GbE port. Both components are factory-updated to the latest firmware before shipment.

1GbE Dual-Port Network & Dual 1100W Supplies

Network connectivity is limited to the onboard 2-port 332T adapter, providing two 1GbE links with no 10GbE or 25GbE options unless additional mezzanine cards are sourced separately. The chassis includes two 1100W power supplies for redundancy, yet the single-CPU configuration leaves the second processor socket unpopulated, capping compute throughput at 16 cores until a matching Xeon is added. Buyers needing higher core counts or faster networking must plan upgrades accordingly.
