Dual Xeon Gold 5218 5U server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays and dual 750W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Virtualisation and database hosting

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation, Microsoft SQL Server databases, file services or backup workloads. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or a native rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SAS and SATA drives. Its 2GB cache and battery backup protect data during power loss. Confirm that your storage plan uses SAS or SATA media before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the 5U PowerEdge T440 include the ready rails kit for rack mounting?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included; a separate rail kit must be sourced for rack installation.

What is the first step when installing the two Xeon Gold 5218 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets?

Align each processor using the socket notches, lower it without force, then secure the retention lever before applying thermal paste and attaching the heatsinks.

Which component of the PERC H730P controller requires periodic replacement to preserve RAID cache protection?

The 2GB cache battery on the PERC H730P controller should be monitored and replaced when its health status indicates degradation.
