Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports an optional rack conversion kit. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency and 16 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits virtualization, database

This configuration fits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server or software-defined storage. The 16 drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS or SATA devices. Buyers who need more than two processors, GPU compute slots or memory beyond 1 TB should evaluate larger platforms.

16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis

The defining specification is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis, which determines how many drives can be installed and whether the form factor matches the rack or tower space available.

Questions about this item

What must I already own to install the four 960 GB SSDs in the 16-bay chassis?

The server includes 16 hot-swap 2.5" bays and the H730P controller, so the SSDs slot straight in without extra trays or cables.

Will my existing SAS drives work with the H730P controller in this T440?

The H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives, so older SAS disks can be used alongside the installed 960 GB SATA SSDs.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

During POST the BIOS lists both 16-core processors at 2.3 GHz and shows 128 GB of ECC registered memory; iDRAC 9 Express also reports the same inventory.
