DELL PowerEdge T430 16SFF Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 192GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

PowerEdge T430 16SFF Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server delivered new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1GHz and 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It uses a PERC H730 SAS controller that supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Remote management is provided by iDRAC8 Express and dual 1100W power supplies are fitted.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This server suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database or compute tasks within a standard rack footprint. The sixteen-bay chassis allows dense local storage using SATA media. Buyers who need a second processor installed, GPU acceleration, or storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms because this unit ships with one CPU and integrated graphics only.

Single Processor Limits Maximum Memory To 192GB

The critical specification is the single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor, which provides sixteen cores and 40MB cache but restricts the maximum addressable memory to 384GB across both CPU sockets. With only one socket populated the installed 192GB represents the practical ceiling unless a second compatible processor is added. Buyers planning workloads that require more than 192GB of RAM must procure a second processor to reach the platform limit.
