16-bay 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC HBA330 storage controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express remote management are included.

Virtualisation and storage workloads

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, database hosting, file storage, backup or software-defined storage. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU compute density, or rackmount rails included should look elsewhere.

PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for up to sixteen drives without RAID processing. If hardware RAID is required, a PERC RAID card must be added separately.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750W Platinum supplies draw when the dual Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs run at full load all day?

The server includes dual 750 Watt Platinum efficiency power supplies with hot-swap redundancy; actual draw depends on workload but the Platinum rating means high efficiency at typical server loads.

Which drive trays and controller are already fitted so I only add drives?

Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and a Dell PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller are installed; just populate the bays with compatible SAS, SATA or SSD drives.

Can I keep my existing DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs and fill the remaining slots alongside the 8x 32GB modules?

Yes, the system has 16 DDR4 slots total with eight 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC Registered modules installed, leaving eight slots open for matching ECC RDIMMs up to the 1TB maximum.
