DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2 GHz 12-core 256 GB DDR4 HBA330 2× 750 W

Dual Xeon 12-core server

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 2.9 GHz turbo and twelve cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets virtualisation hosts, database workloads and business-critical applications that benefit from twenty-four threads and large memory capacity.

HBA330 storage controller

A Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, although only four drive trays are included. Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports provide network connectivity, while iDRAC 8 Express handles remote management. Two redundant 750 W platinum power supplies deliver hot-swap resilience. PCIe slots remain available for additional RAID, networking or accelerator cards.

256 GB DDR4 with 384 GB ceiling

The installed 256 GB suits medium-scale virtualisation clusters and in-memory databases, leaving headroom to the 384 GB maximum across twelve DIMM slots. Storage capacity scales with the sixteen bay chassis, though drives must be sourced separately. Workloads demanding more than twenty-four cores or memory beyond 384 GB will require a larger platform.
