Dual Xeon Silver 4116 5U Server

This new Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that can be rack-mounted with an optional kit. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules.

PERC HBA330 Storage Controller

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. Four 1.92 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives are installed in the front bays. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays in total, supporting SAS, SATA, and SSD media for flexible capacity planning.

Built for Virtualisation and Databases

This configuration suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualisation clusters, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and database hosting workloads. Buyers who require integrated hardware RAID levels or a GPU-accelerated platform should evaluate alternative configurations. The front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean when the Xeon Silver 4116 processors are under full load?

The two 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.0 GHz turbo when thermal headroom allows, delivering 24 total cores for parallel workloads.

What storage throughput does the HBA330 controller cap in practice with the installed SATA drives?

The Dell PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity, so the four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs operate at up to 6 Gb/s each through the controller.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 5U chassis provide for the installed drives and future expansion?

The 5U tower chassis includes 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays; four are occupied by the 1.92 TB SSDs, leaving twelve bays free for additional SAS or SATA drives.
