Capacity and compute

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It ships with a PERC HBA330 storage controller and sixteen 2.5-inch drive trays for SAS or SATA devices. Dual 750 W power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Storage-first workloads

This server suits organisations that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity in a 5U chassis for virtualisation, database hosting, or software-defined storage. It is not suited for buyers who require installed drives, a front bezel, or ready rails included in the box.

Drive-bay count

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays paired with the HBA330 controller, which determines how many SAS or SATA drives you can install without adding a RAID card.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC HBA330 controller and what step is often missed?

The HBA330 occupies a dedicated PCIe slot; the step often missed is connecting the internal Mini-SAS cables from the controller to the 16-bay backplane before powering on.

What maintenance will the 2x 750W redundant power supplies need later?

Each 750W supply is hot-swap; replace a failed unit by sliding it out and inserting the new one while the server stays running.

What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs run at 3.2GHz Turbo under sustained load?

The 750W power budget is reached before thermal limits, so sustained 3.2GHz Turbo on all 24 cores may throttle to stay within the PSU capacity.
