Built for virtualization and database workloads

This 5U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo across 14 cores each. 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory fills four of sixteen slots. A Dell PERC HBA330 controller manages four 960 GB SATA SSDs in 2.5 inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Upgrade from single-socket

Moving from a single-processor platform doubles compute threads and memory channels for heavier consolidation ratios. The sixteen 2.5 inch bays and HBA330 controller replace direct-attached SATA backplanes that limit drive count and RAID flexibility. The jump is worth it when workloads need more simultaneous VMs, larger in-memory databases, or room to grow storage without a second chassis.

Verify rack depth and rail kit before ordering

This unit is a tower chassis that requires the optional rack conversion kit for cabinet mounting; ready rails and front bezel are not included. Confirm the HBA330 meets your RAID level requirements because it operates in HBA mode without hardware RAID. Ensure your network infrastructure uses the integrated dual-port gigabit adapter or plan for additional NICs. Power cords for the 750 W supplies should match your PDU connectors.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive-bay count does the T440 require?

The server is a 5U unit with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, so the rack must provide 5U of vertical space and support 2.5-inch drive carriers.

How are the two Xeon Gold 5120 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 3647 sockets are populated; the common oversight is forgetting to apply the correct torque sequence on the CPU retention brackets before closing the heatsink latches.

When will the 960GB SSDs and DDR4 memory need replacement?

The four 960GB SATA SSDs should be monitored for wear-level indicators and replaced once their endurance rating is reached, while the 128GB DDR4-2400 ECC modules only need swapping if a DIMM fails or capacity must exceed 1TB.
