1U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold
The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rack server built for dense data centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 modules of 32 GB each. A PERC HBA330 controller manages eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives in 2.5 inch bays, while dual 550 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.
Virtualisation hosts needing high core density
This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, application hosting, or database workloads that benefit from 24 total cores and half a terabyte of memory in a single rack unit. The eight 1.8 TB SAS drives deliver fast, redundant storage for mixed read and write patterns. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, additional PCIe expansion slots, or a larger memory footprint should consider other platforms. The included iDRAC 9 Express enables remote monitoring and administration without extra licensing.
512 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory
The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory capacity. With 16 populated DIMM slots, the system arrives at its maximum configured memory, leaving no room for future upgrades without replacing modules. Workloads sized for 512 GB or less can deploy immediately, while those that anticipate growth beyond this limit will need a different server chassis or a fresh memory configuration.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs are running at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo after installation?
Check the iDRAC9 Express interface or BIOS during POST; both will display each processor at 2.3 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo across all 12 cores.
Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this R440?
The server ships with 2x Xeon Gold 5118, 16x 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs, PERC HBA330, 8x 1.8TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, dual 1GbE, iDRAC9 Express, and 2x 550W Platinum PSUs; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included.
Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or a lower capacity for virtualization workloads?
The 512GB (16x 32GB) DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory provides high density for virtualization; select it when maximum VM consolidation is required, otherwise a smaller kit reduces cost.
