Dual Xeon Gold 5118 5U Server
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and provides 12 cores. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four slots. It targets organisations that need compute density and storage flexibility in a single chassis.
Storage Controller and Drive Bays
The PERC H330 controller manages SAS and SATA drives through eight included 2.5-inch hot-swap trays. The chassis supports up to sixteen bays, so the eight empty trays represent immediate expansion capacity. This configuration replaces older single-socket or smaller-bay servers when workloads demand more concurrent threads and local storage slots. The jump is worth it when virtualisation host counts or database instances exceed the capacity of a single-processor platform.
Memory Headroom and I/O
Sixteen DDR4 slots allow growth to 1 TB of registered ECC memory, giving ample headroom for large virtual machine fleets or in-memory databases. Dual 1 GbE ports handle management and light traffic; heavier networking requires add-in cards via the PCI Express slots. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. Buyers who need more than sixteen drive bays or higher base network throughput will need a different chassis.

Questions about this item
What rack height and drive bay count does the T440 need?
The server occupies 5U of rack space and provides 16 front-accessible 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; only 8 trays are included.
How are the dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both LGA 3647 sockets are already populated with the 2.3 GHz 12-core CPUs; the 32 GB ships as four 8 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs in 16 slots, so the common oversight is not balancing modules across all channels for maximum bandwidth.
Which components will likely need replacement first in the T440?
The two 750 W hot-plug power supplies and any SAS or SATA drives added to the 16 bays are the primary field-replaceable units; the PERC H330 controller and iDRAC 9 Express firmware should also be kept current.
