DELL PowerEdge T430 5U 16-Bay 2x Xeon E5-2695 v4 256GB DDR4 H330 4x Trays

Enterprise 5U Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server designed for enterprise workloads such as virtualization, database hosting and file storage. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency and eighteen cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller with four 2.5-inch drive trays installed. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Suits Growing Workloads, Not Maximum Density

This server suits organisations that need room for up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and the ability to expand memory to 384 GB across twelve slots. It is not for buyers who require a compact rackmount form factor without a conversion kit, or for deployments that need more than two processor sockets. The tower chassis also limits use in space-constrained racks unless the optional rack kit is sourced separately.

Dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 Defines Capacity

The installed dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors set the performance ceiling and determine the maximum memory capacity of 384 GB. With both sockets populated, no further CPU upgrades are possible. The PERC H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives across the sixteen drive bays, so storage expansion depends on drive selection rather than controller limits. Memory must be DDR4 ECC registered to match the twelve available slots.
