Server configuration

This Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo, providing 16 cores per processor. It includes 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC HBA330 storage controller. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis with dual 750 W platinum power supplies.

Virtualisation and database hosts

The dual 16-core CPUs and 128 GB memory suit virtualisation clusters, database servers and file storage workloads that need redundant power and hot-swap bays. Buyers who require integrated RAID levels or larger memory capacity should consider other configurations. The HBA330 controller provides JBOD passthrough only.

Storage controller limitation

The installed PERC HBA330 operates as a 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA host bus adapter without hardware RAID functionality. Software RAID or an upgraded PERC RAID card is necessary for redundant arrays. This single specification determines whether the server matches the storage resilience requirements.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 produce under sustained load?

The dual Xeon Gold 5218 processors run at 2.3 GHz base with 3.9 GHz turbo across 16 cores each, while the 128 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory and 2 x 750 W platinum power supplies handle continuous operation in the 5U chassis.

Which drive cables and backplane does the HBA330 controller need for the four 960 GB SSDs?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the 16-bay 2.5" hot-swap backplane, so the installed 960 GB SATA SSDs attach directly without extra adapters.

Can the iDRAC 9 Express and dual 1 GbE ports be managed from an older KVM switch or serial console?

iDRAC 9 Express offers dedicated network remote management with its own IP, while the dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports serve the OS; no legacy KVM or serial cable is required for out-of-band access.
