Dual Xeon Silver 4116 12-core platform

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo. Twenty-four total cores deliver multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, database hosting and business-critical workloads. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots.

H730P controller and sixteen 2.5-inch bays

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB SAS/SATA RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Sixteen hot-swap 2.5-inch drive trays accept SAS, SATA and SSD media without requiring additional caddies. Dual embedded 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Express provide baseline connectivity and remote management.

Memory ceiling and expansion headroom

The platform supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, leaving substantial headroom beyond the factory 16 GB for memory-intensive applications. Two processor sockets are already populated at the maximum of two, so CPU upgrades require replacement rather than addition. PCIe slots remain available for extra RAID, networking or GPU cards, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-bay 2.5-inch tray layout or a different drive configuration?

This unit ships with sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap trays and the PERC H730P controller, so you can populate SAS, SATA, or SSD drives up to the full 16-bay capacity.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock with 3.0 GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Each of the two Silver 4116 CPUs runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz across 12 cores, delivering 24 total threads for virtualization and database tasks.

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

The H730P 2 GB controller caps each drive at 12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA, so SSD throughput is bounded by that interface ceiling.
