Processor and Memory Configuration

This server is a new Dell PowerEdge T440 5U rack system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. It includes 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across two modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller.

Suitable Workloads and Limitations

The dual 16-core CPUs and 1 TB maximum memory capacity suit virtualization, database hosting and software-defined storage. Buyers who need drives included or who require more than eight 2.5-inch trays without adding enclosures should consider other options.

Storage Controller and Drive Bays

The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for SAS and SATA drives. Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays are installed in the 16-bay chassis, with dual 750 W platinum power supplies providing redundancy.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with drives or do I need to buy 2.5" SAS or SATA drives separately?

No drives are installed; the chassis provides sixteen 2.5" hot-swap bays and eight trays are included, so you must supply your own SAS or SATA drives.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I want to expand beyond the 16GB already fitted?

The system has sixteen DDR4 slots supporting up to 1TB total; add DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules in matched pairs to reach the capacity you need.

What does the 3.9GHz turbo frequency mean for real-world workloads on the two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs?

Each 16-core processor can boost from 2.3GHz to 3.9GHz under load, delivering higher single-thread speed for database and virtualization tasks when thermal headroom allows.
