Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack-mountable server built for enterprise workloads such as virtualization, database hosting and file storage. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency, providing 24 total cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies deliver redundant power.

Who this suits and who it does not

This server suits IT teams deploying VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as organisations running Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server or Linux-based business applications. The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays support SAS, SATA and SSD media for flexible storage configurations. Buyers who require more than two processors, memory beyond the 1 TB maximum or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

The specification that decides fit

The Dell PERC HBA330 controller operates in HBA mode and presents drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID acceleration. If the deployment relies on a hardware RAID engine with onboard cache, this controller will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 5U T440 require for mounting?

The server occupies 5U of rack space. Ready Rails are not included, so a compatible Dell sliding rail kit must be purchased separately for rack installation.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4116 processors and HBA330 controller installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets. The HBA330 sits in a PCIe slot; the step often missed is connecting its mini-SAS cables to the 16-bay backplane before powering on.

Which memory specification must match when expanding beyond the installed 256GB?

Use DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs. The system has 16 slots and supports up to 1TB; mixing speeds or skipping ECC will prevent the server from posting.
