5U Tower Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built on dual Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Four 2.5-inch drive trays are supplied for the sixteen-bay chassis.

Suits Consolidation Workloads Not High-Density Racks

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, hosting databases or running file and backup services where internal storage capacity and memory headroom matter. The tower form factor fits office or rack environments with the optional conversion kit. Buyers who require a higher processor count than two sockets or need more than sixteen 2.5-inch front bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Sixteen-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Determines Storage

The single specification that decides fit is the sixteen-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis paired with the PERC H330 controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. This layout sets the maximum number of drives you can install without external enclosures and defines the RAID options available from the integrated controller.

Questions about this item

Will the 2x Xeon Gold 5218 2.3GHz CPUs and DDR4-2400 ECC memory work with my existing LGA 3647 motherboard?

The server uses two LGA 3647 sockets and 16 DDR4 slots populated with 8x 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs. Compatibility depends on your board supporting Xeon Scalable processors and registered ECC memory at 2400 MT/s.

How do I confirm the PERC H330 controller and iDRAC 9 Express are operational after installation?

During POST the H330 BIOS utility appears and lists attached SAS or SATA drives. iDRAC 9 Express shows its IP address on the LCD panel and responds to a browser login at that address.

Which drive trays, rails and bezel are included and what must I source separately?

The box contains four 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays for the 16-bay chassis. Ready Rails sliding rails and the front bezel are not included and must be purchased separately.
