DELL PowerEdge R440 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P 4x 3.5" fillers 2x 550W PSUs

Dense 1U rack server for virtualization

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data center deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each providing 16 cores at 2.1GHz with a 3.7GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across eight 32GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache manages storage with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes.

Tool-less rails simplify rack mounting

The 1U chassis slides into a standard rack using Dell Ready Rails, though the rails and front bezel are not included in this configuration. Four 3.5-inch drive bay fillers occupy the front bays, so installing drives requires removing the fillers and adding compatible SAS or SATA caddies. The H730P controller battery should be checked on first power-up to ensure write-back caching is enabled. Dual 550W platinum power supplies provide redundancy, but both must be connected to separate circuits for full failover protection.

Suits virtualization hosts needing maximum density

This configuration fits organizations running hypervisors or container platforms where CPU core count and memory capacity matter more than local storage quantity. The four 3.5-inch bays limit internal drive count, so workloads requiring large direct-attached arrays should consider a 2U or storage-optimized chassis. Buyers needing integrated 10GbE networking or a front bezel for physical security will need to source those components separately.
