Server Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server that supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. It arrives with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with a 3.5GHz turbo frequency and 14 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules and a PERC H730P 2GB storage controller. Dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Ideal Use Cases

This server suits organisations running virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox, database workloads, file and print services, backup targets or private cloud infrastructure. The 16-bay chassis and DDR4 capacity up to 384GB across 12 slots give room to grow. Buyers who need more than two processors, more than 384GB of memory, or a rackmount form factor without a conversion kit should look at alternative platforms.

Deciding Specification

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SAS and SATA drives. This determines which drive types and redundancy schemes are available.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the server run with both 750 W PSUs and dual 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs under continuous load?

The system ships with two 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies and dual 14-core Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors rated at 2.6 GHz base and 3.5 GHz turbo; actual acoustics and thermals depend on your workload, ambient temperature and fan-profile settings in iDRAC 8 Express.

Which drive trays, cables and backplane do I need to populate the 16-bay 2.5" chassis with SAS or SATA drives?

Eight 2.5" drive trays are included; the PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports SAS and SATA in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so you add the remaining eight trays and matching cables to fill all sixteen hot-swap bays.

Can I keep my existing PCIe RAID or NIC cards when moving to the T430's PCI Express slots?

The T430 provides standard PCI Express expansion slots for RAID, networking and additional hardware; any card that fits the PCIe form factor and power envelope will install, though the PERC H730P already occupies one slot for the internal 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane.
