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 running at 2.3GHz with a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen available slots. A PERC HBA330 controller manages storage connectivity.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters. It also fits Microsoft SQL Server deployments, file and print services, backup targets and software-defined storage workloads. Buyers needing GPU-accelerated compute or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays for SAS or SATA drives.

Dual 750W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-plug 750 watt platinum efficiency power supplies are installed as standard. This configuration delivers fail-safe power for the dual 16-core processors, memory population up to 1TB and a full complement of storage devices. The integrated dual-port gigabit adapter and iDRAC 9 Express remote management complete the baseline infrastructure.

Questions about this item

What memory upgrades will the T440 need later?

The server has 16 DDR4 slots and currently holds 16 GB in two 8 GB modules at 2400 MT/s, so additional DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs can fill the remaining slots up to 1 TB.

Which component hits its limit first during sustained heavy workloads?

With both Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs already installed at the 2-processor maximum, the 16 GB of memory will saturate before the processors do.

How loud and hot does the T440 get when running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep the 5U chassis stable, while iDRAC 9 Express monitors thermal and fan status continuously.
