Enterprise server for virtualisation and storage

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. A PERC H330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Dual 12-core Xeons provide 24 threads that maintain 2.3 GHz under continuous load, while the 3.2 GHz turbo handles burst demand. The 128 GB DDR4-2400 ECC capacity supports multiple virtual machines or large database working sets without swapping. Four enterprise SATA SSDs deliver consistent read performance for mixed workloads, and the H330 controller sustains RAID operations across all active drives.

Redundant power and remote management

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails. The iDRAC 9 Express module gives out-of-band access for firmware updates, power cycling and console redirection without visiting the rack. Sixteen drive bays leave twelve slots free for future SAS or SATA expansion, and standard PCIe slots accommodate additional RAID, networking or GPU cards as requirements grow.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot do the dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and twin 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs get under continuous 24/7 load?

The server ships with redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies and two 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 processors rated at 2.3 GHz base with 3.2 GHz turbo; Dell’s thermal design uses multiple managed fans to keep acoustics and temperatures within data-centre limits during sustained operation.

Which rails, cables or operating-system licences must I already have to install and run this 5U tower with sixteen 2.5-inch bays?

The unit includes the iDRAC 9 Express remote-management module and dual-port gigabit Ethernet, but front bezel and ready rails are not included; you will need rack rails or a shelf, power cords, and your own hypervisor or OS licence to make the system operational.

Can I keep using my existing SAS and SATA drives with the PERC H330 controller in this T440?

Yes — the PERC H330 12 Gb/s controller supports both SAS and SATA devices, so legacy 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs can be installed in any of the sixteen hot-swap bays alongside the four 960 GB SATA SSDs already fitted.
