Ready for virtualization workloads
This Dell PowerEdge T430 5U tower server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 2.9 GHz turbo. The dual 12-core configuration gives 24 total cores, and 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory is installed across eight 32 GB modules. It is aimed at businesses running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, database instances, or file and backup services.
Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
The chassis provides 16 SFF drive bays supporting SAS, SATA and SSD media; four Dell 13G 2.5-inch trays are included. The onboard PERC H330 12 Gb/s storage controller manages RAID arrays, while twelve DIMM slots leave room to grow from the fitted 256 GB up to the 384 GB maximum. Dual integrated 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 8 Express handle network and remote management, and PCI Express slots remain open for additional RAID, networking or accelerator cards.
Dual 750 W platinum supplies
Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and can be swapped without downtime. Redundant hot-swap power is a standard feature, so a single supply failure will not interrupt operation. The 5U tower form factor allows generous airflow through the front drive cage and over the dual LGA 2011 sockets, keeping processor and memory temperatures stable under typical virtualization or database loads.

Questions about this item
How many drive bays can be populated before the 16-bay chassis is full?
The server provides 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; only 4 trays are included, so 12 additional trays are needed to fill the chassis.
What is the acoustic and thermal profile when both 750 W power supplies run continuously?
Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load, and redundant hot-swap design keeps the system running if one unit fails or is removed.
Which memory modules must already be on hand to reach the 384 GB maximum?
Twelve DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMM slots are available; eight 32 GB modules are installed, leaving four slots open for additional 32 GB sticks.
