Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualization workloads
The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores running at 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across twelve slots, expandable to 384 GB. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays.
Redundant platinum power supplies handle thermal
Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant hot-swap mode, delivering stable power to both processors and the full drive complement. The 5U chassis provides airflow across the dual-socket board, the H730P battery-backed cache, and the SSD array without requiring additional cooling configuration. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 8 Express share the same power budget.
Battery-backed RAID controller enables data
The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, allowing the four installed SSDs to be configured for redundancy or capacity. iDRAC 8 Express provides out-of-band remote management for firmware updates, power cycling and console access without an operating system. Buyers who need more than four drives or a larger memory footprint must add components separately.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors into the LGA 2011 sockets, and which step is often missed?
Align the processor notches with the socket keys, lower gently, and close the retention lever; the step often missed is applying thermal paste before seating the heatsink.
When will the 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory need replacement or expansion?
The 12 DIMM slots support up to 384GB; add modules when workloads exceed 16GB, and replace any DIMM that reports correctable ECC errors in iDRAC logs.
What limit appears first during sustained use with the H730P controller and 960GB SATA SSDs?
The 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller bandwidth and SSD write endurance will saturate before the dual 750W power supplies reach their thermal limit.
