Dell PowerEdge T430 16-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 2U rack server with a 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. Memory is fully populated at 384GB DDR4 ECC registered across 24 slots. The PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages storage. Dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Express remote management are included. No drives are installed.
Suited for memory-heavy workloads.
This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database servers, or analytics nodes that need maximum memory capacity in a dense 16-bay form factor. The single CPU leaves a second socket free for future expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the system only provides integrated graphics. Workloads requiring installed storage must add drives separately.
384GB DDR4 at the supported maximum
The 384GB DDR4 installation reaches the platform maximum, so no further memory can be added without replacing modules. This makes the current capacity the deciding specification for buyers who need the highest supported RAM in a T430. If your application requires more memory, this chassis cannot accommodate it.

Questions about this item
How do I install a second Xeon E5-2680v4 processor in the T430 and what step is often missed?
Insert the second CPU into the empty socket, apply thermal paste evenly, then update the system BIOS so the new 14-core processor is recognised and the memory controllers initialise correctly.
Which components in this T430 will need replacement first during long-term operation?
The two 1100W power supplies and the cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units; the PERC H730 RAID controller battery also requires periodic replacement to preserve write-back cache.
What thermal or power limit appears first when the T430 runs sustained heavy workloads?
The dual 1100W power supplies set the hard ceiling; if combined CPU and drive draw approaches that rating the system will throttle or shut down before any thermal trip activates.
