Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor running at 2.3GHz and ten cores. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 384GB total across its DIMM slots. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Integrated graphics and dual-port 1Gb Ethernet are built in.
Verify rack depth and power before ordering
The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight capacity can accommodate it. Two 1100W power supplies are installed; ensure your PDU or UPS can deliver the required current on the available circuits. No drives are included, so plan the quantity and type of SAS drives you need for the PERC H730 controller. Remote management uses iDRAC8 Express; check that your network segment allows access to its dedicated port.
Sixteen hot-swap bays free internal space
The sixteen front-accessible 2.5-inch bays let you add SAS drives without consuming PCIe slots, leaving expansion room for additional controllers or networking cards. A second processor socket is empty, allowing a future CPU upgrade to double compute threads. Memory capacity can scale to 384GB when workloads demand more RAM. Rail kits are available separately for secure rack mounting.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Dell PowerEdge T430 and which parts must be purchased separately?
The server ships with one Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor at 2.3GHz, 128GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller, dual 1100W power supplies and a 2-port 1GB Ethernet adapter. No 2.5-inch drives or rail kit are included; both must be bought separately.
Should I choose the single-CPU 128GB version or add a second processor and more memory?
The chassis supports up to two Xeon processors and 384GB DDR4. Keep the single 10-core CPU and 128GB if current workloads fit; add the second processor and extra memory only when you need more than 10 cores or more than 128GB capacity.
What does the 128GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads on this T430?
128GB DDR4 ECC registered memory provides capacity for multiple virtual machines, databases or file services with error correction. The board has 24 DIMM slots and can scale to 384GB if applications later demand more memory.
