Purpose-built 5U server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors. It ships with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four DIMM slots and a PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. This configuration targets virtualization, database hosting, backup and software-defined storage workloads.

Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs define compute

Two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors are installed, each with 16 cores running at 2.3GHz base and 3.9GHz turbo. The LGA 3647 socket is fully populated at the maximum of two processors, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Buyers who need more cores or higher clock speeds must select a different platform.

Redundant 750W platinum supplies sustain full-load

Dual hot-plug 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundant power for continuous operation under sustained load. The PERC H330 controller manages SAS and SATA drives without a cache module, so write throughput under heavy random I/O will reflect that design. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express handle management traffic without adding PCIe congestion.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.9 GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 5218 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.9 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving strong single-thread speed for database queries while all 16 cores handle parallel virtualization tasks.

How does the PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive performance?

The H330 caps each drive at 12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA, so SSD random IOPS will hit the controller ceiling before the drive ceiling in heavy mixed workloads.

What physical space and rails are needed to mount this 5U tower in a rack?

The chassis occupies 5U of rack height and requires the optional rack conversion kit; ready rails are not included so you must supply compatible sliding rails.
