Enterprise 5U tower server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports optional rack conversion. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and a PERC HBA330 storage controller.

Virtualisation and storage workloads

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, database hosting, file services, backup targets or software-defined storage. Buyers who need a compact 1U or 2U rackmount form factor, integrated hardware RAID without adding a PERC card, or GPU-dense compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays with HBA330

The single specification that decides fit is the combination of sixteen 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays driven by the PERC HBA330 controller in JBOD mode. This layout delivers high drive-count flexibility for capacity-focused deployments while leaving RAID implementation to the operating system or a future controller upgrade.

Questions about this item

What drive trays are required to populate the 16 hot-swap bays?

The chassis ships with sixteen Dell EMC 13G PowerEdge 2.5" drive trays, so no additional trays are needed to fill every bay.

Will my existing SAS or SATA drives work with the HBA330 controller?

Yes, the PERC HBA330 supports both SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s, so any compatible 2.5" drive can be used without a RAID card.

How can I verify the server is operating normally after installation?

Use iDRAC 9 Express to check system health, sensor readings and firmware versions; the front-panel LCD also displays status codes for quick confirmation.
