DELL PowerEdge T440 16 Bay 2.5" 5U Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12 Core 128GB DDR4 H330 2x 750W PSU

Server purpose

The Dell EMC PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server designed for enterprise workloads such as virtualisation, database hosting, file storage and backup. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across four 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Two redundant 750 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap power redundancy.

Target users

This server suits organisations that need a high-capacity 2.5-inch drive platform with up to sixteen hot-swap bays for SAS, SATA or SSD media. It also fits teams requiring integrated iDRAC 9 Express remote management and dual-port Gigabit Ethernet for out-of-band administration. Buyers who require front bezel or ready rails included in the shipment should look elsewhere, as those items are not supplied. Environments needing more than two processors or memory beyond the 1 TB maximum will need a different platform.

Deciding specification

The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays connected to the PERC H330 controller define whether this chassis matches the storage density and interface requirements of the deployment.
