Dual Xeon Gold 5218 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. It is built for virtualization, database hosting, and file storage workloads.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation. The PERC H330 controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays supporting SAS and SATA media. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express provide remote management during extended deployments. The tower chassis offers optional rack conversion for data-centre integration.

Installation and Common Issues

The unit ships without a front bezel or ready rails, so rack mounting requires a separate conversion kit. Sixteen drive trays are included but no drives are installed, so storage must be sourced and populated separately. Memory expansion uses sixteen DDR4 slots with a 1 TB maximum capacity. PCIe slots accept RAID, networking, GPU, or additional hardware as needed.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 5U tower get when both Xeon Gold 5218 processors run at 2.3 GHz continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design handle sustained load; actual acoustic and thermal output depend on installed drives and ambient airflow.

Which drives and caddies must I supply to populate the 16 front 2.5" hot-swap bays?

The server includes 16 Dell 13G 2.5" trays; you add SAS, SATA or SSD drives that match your capacity and performance needs.

Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs work alongside the 8x 32 GB modules already installed?

Yes, the 16 DIMM slots support DDR4 ECC registered memory up to 1 TB total; match speed and rank rules for best stability.
