Dell PowerEdge T430 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server built for small-office and remote-office workloads such as file serving, mail, and web hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across twelve DIMM slots. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 8 TB SAS hard drives on a PERC H730 controller.

Upgrade from single-socket or smaller storage arrays

Moving from a single-socket server or a system with fewer drive bays adds a second 16-core processor and doubles the installed drive count to eight. The jump is worthwhile when workloads need more simultaneous threads for virtualization or databases and when local storage must scale beyond four bays without adding external enclosures.

Twelve DIMM slots capped at 384 GB DDR4

The twelve memory slots support up to 384 GB of registered DDR4 ECC, so the 16 GB installed leaves room to grow but cannot exceed that ceiling. The PERC H730 handles SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, yet the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and 1 GbE network ports set the practical throughput limits for storage and connectivity.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 5U PowerEdge T430 require?

The server occupies 5U of rack space and uses 3.5-inch drive bays for its eight installed SAS drives.

Which step is often missed when installing the two Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors into the LGA 2011-3 sockets?

Both CPUs must be seated before the memory risers are populated; skipping this order prevents the system from posting.

When will the PERC H730 controller's battery-backed cache need replacement?

The 1GB cache battery typically lasts three to five years; plan to swap it when the iDRAC 8 Express reports a degraded cache state.
