Enterprise 5U Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that accepts an optional rack conversion kit. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency and twelve cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and Linux database workloads. It also fits file and print services, backup targets and software-defined storage nodes. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or front bezel and ready rails included should look at other configurations.

Sixteen-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis

The chassis provides sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays supporting SAS, SATA and SSD media, though only eight drive trays are supplied. This bay count determines how many drives you can install for capacity or redundancy. Verify that eight trays meet your immediate array plans or budget for additional trays separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 256 GB DDR4 memory kit into the 16 DIMM slots of the PowerEdge T440?

Populate the eight 32 GB modules in matched pairs across the two CPU channels, following the silkscreen sequence on the board; the step most often missed is seating both latches fully before powering on.

When will the PERC H330 controller or its cache battery need replacement under normal operation?

The H330 has no onboard cache battery to service; plan to replace the controller only if firmware updates cease or a drive-array error persists after cable reseat.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 W platinum power supplies hit their sustained-output ceiling before the CPU package temperature reaches its throttle point.
