Enterprise 5U Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that can be converted for rack mounting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four DIMM slots. A PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup manages the eight included 2.5-inch drive trays.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations running VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a tower form factor. It also fits database workloads and software-defined storage nodes that benefit from hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require more than two processors or more than sixteen drive bays should consider a larger chassis.

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 Processors

The installed pair of Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs provides twenty-four cores total at a 2.1 GHz base clock. This core count and frequency determine the throughput for virtual machines, database threads and container density. Memory can be expanded to 1 TB using the sixteen DDR4 slots, but the processor configuration is fixed at the maximum of two sockets.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2x Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs and which step is often missed?

Both LGA 3647 processors are pre-installed; the step people miss is applying the torque sequence on the heatsink retention brackets to ensure even pressure across all 12 cores per socket.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P 2GB controller battery need?

The 2GB cache battery on the H730P controller typically requires replacement every 3 to 5 years to preserve write-back caching during power loss.

Which limit appears first when the 2x 750W PSUs run sustained loads?

The dual 750W platinum supplies share load evenly; the first limit is thermal throttling of the Silver 4116 CPUs at 3.0GHz turbo before power capacity is reached.
