DELL PowerEdge T430 5U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2650 v4 2.2GHz 12 Core 256GB DDR4 HBA330 8x 2.5" Trays 2x 750W

Dell PowerEdge T430 5U dual-CPU server

This new Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. It arrives with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight 32 GB modules and includes a Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power, and the chassis supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays with eight trays included.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

The dual 12-core CPUs and large memory capacity make this server appropriate for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox virtualization clusters, Microsoft SQL Server databases, and file or backup services. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express remote management simplify deployment and ongoing administration. Buyers who need more than two physical processors, memory beyond the 384 GB maximum, or a different storage controller interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory capacity of 384 GB DDR4

The system board provides twelve DDR4 DIMM slots and supports a maximum of 384 GB of ECC registered memory. With 256 GB already installed in eight slots, four slots remain available for expansion using compatible DDR4-2400 modules. This limit is the primary constraint for memory-intensive applications such as large in-memory databases or dense virtualization hosts.
