Enterprise 5U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each delivering 12 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing four 960 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation.

Virtualisation and Storage Workloads

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database hosting, file services and software-defined storage. The 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis allows further SAS or SATA expansion, while iDRAC 9 Express enables remote management. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, higher core counts per socket, or a tower chassis with included rails should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 12-Core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs

The two installed Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 total cores and represent the maximum CPU capacity for this model, as the board supports only two sockets. Clock speeds are fixed at 2.3 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo, so performance is determined by this specific silicon. Verify that your workload licensing and thread requirements align with this core count before purchase.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the H330 controller cap at for the 960GB SATA SSDs?

The H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; the installed 960GB SSDs run at SATA 6Gb/s, so each drive is limited to the SATA 6Gb/s link speed.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays and PCIe slots must the chassis provide for this configuration?

The 5U chassis has sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; four are occupied by the 960GB SSDs, leaving twelve bays free, and standard T440 models include multiple PCIe slots for the H330 and additional cards.

What memory population rule applies when adding DDR4 modules to the sixteen slots?

The server uses DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs; populate slots in matched pairs per processor, following the DIMM sequence shown on the system board label to keep both CPUs balanced.
