Dell PowerEdge T430 5U Server
This Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 storage controller. It is built for organisations that need a dense compute platform with room for storage expansion.
Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes
The dual 18-core configuration and 12 memory slots supporting up to 384 GB make this server a good fit for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters. Buyers who need drives included or a smaller form factor should look at other models. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis is designed for SAS and SATA media only.
16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis
The enclosure provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays with eight trays supplied. This capacity drives the storage density for backup, software-defined storage or file-serving workloads. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Express remote management are included.

Questions about this item
How do I install the dual Xeon E5-2695 v4 processors into the LGA 2011 sockets, and what step do people often miss?
Align the triangle marker on each CPU with the socket corner, lower the load plate gently, and secure the lever. The step often missed is applying fresh thermal paste before seating the heatsinks, as the factory compound dries during transit.
What maintenance will the 2x 750W Platinum power supplies and DDR4-2400 ECC memory need later?
The hot-swap PSUs can be replaced individually without downtime; dust the fan intakes quarterly. Memory modules are ECC registered DDR4; test them with the iDRAC 8 diagnostics after any firmware update to catch correctable errors early.
Which limit appears first when the H330 controller drives all sixteen 2.5" bays under sustained write load?
The PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller bandwidth and its lack of write-back cache become the bottleneck before the dual 18-core Xeons or the 750W supplies reach their limits.
