Dell PowerEdge T130 Intel Xeon E3-1230 4-Core, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD Tower Server

Dell PowerEdge T130 is a compact and dependable single-socket tower server designed for small businesses, offices, home offices, branch locations and IT environments that need dedicated server hardware without the space requirements of a rack server. Dell positions the T130 as a mini-tower server for small office/home office and small-to-medium business environments, making it suitable for consolidating data and running essential business applications.

This configuration features an Intel Xeon E3-1230 4-core processor, 8GB RAM and 1TB hard-drive storage, providing a practical foundation for everyday server workloads such as file sharing, centralized data storage, business applications, network services and testing environments.

Intel Xeon E3-1230 4-Core Processor

The Intel Xeon E3-1230 is a server-class processor designed to provide reliable performance for professional workloads. Configurations of the T130 with the E3-1230 are available with four physical CPU cores and eight processing threads, making the system capable of handling multiple tasks simultaneously.

This makes the server suitable for:

• File and print server applications
• Business software
• Database applications
• Network services
• Web hosting
• Backup and storage
• Development and testing
• IT training and server labs
• Small-office server deployments

8GB Server RAM

The system comes with 8GB of RAM, providing a suitable starting point for lightweight and everyday server applications. The T130 has four DIMM sockets and supports ECC-capable DDR4 UDIMM configurations, with the platform supporting up to 64GB of RAM depending on the supported memory configuration.

ECC memory support is especially useful in server environments because it helps detect and correct certain memory errors, contributing to system reliability.

1TB Hard Drive Storage

With 1TB of internal storage, this Dell PowerEdge T130 provides ample space for operating-system files, documents, applications, backups and shared business data.

The T130 platform supports 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and can accommodate up to four 3.5-inch cabled drives, depending on the configuration. Dell also lists storage-controller options including PERC S130, H330, H730 and H830, providing options for different storage and RAID requirements.

Compact Mini-Tower Design

Unlike rack servers such as the Dell R620 or PowerEdge 2950, the PowerEdge T130 uses a mini-tower design, allowing it to be installed on or beside a desk, in an office, or inside a dedicated server room without requiring a rack cabinet.

The chassis measures approximately 36.0 cm high × 17.5 cm wide × 43.5 cm deep, giving it a relatively compact footprint for a dedicated server.

Networking and Expansion

The T130 provides two integrated 1GbE network connections, making it suitable for connecting the server to a business network. It also provides multiple PCIe expansion slots for adding compatible network cards, storage controllers and other expansion hardware.

The platform also supports Dell iDRAC8 and Lifecycle Controller management features, depending on the installed management configuration.
