DELL PowerEdge T430 5U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2695 v4 2.1 GHz 18-core 128 GB DDR4 H330 8 trays 2× 750 W PSU

5U tower server with dual Xeon E5-2695 v4

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors running at 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.3 GHz turbo. It includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system features a Dell PERC H330 storage controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays for SAS or SATA drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are included.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, Microsoft SQL Server databases, file and print services or backup infrastructure. The dual 18-core processors and 384 GB maximum memory capacity support multi-tenant environments. Buyers needing more than sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays or GPU compute acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The tower form factor with optional rack conversion fits offices without dedicated rack space.

PERC H330 controller with eight 2.5-inch trays

The installed Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages up to eight hot-swap 2.5-inch drives in the provided trays. The chassis supports sixteen bays total, so eight additional trays can be added for expansion. No drives are installed from the factory. This controller and tray configuration determines the initial storage density and RAID options available.
